WASP SPIDER










This Wasp Spider sitting on the edge a small envelope gives some indication of their size.
Some are quite large, espescially the females.

    I have never seen a Wasp Spider. I'm not a fan of spiders, but they are beautifully marked!

    Oh My...I would most assuredly have heart failure ;(...well maybe not, but they sure are huge...pretty, but huge and they are spiders.

    The only time I found one of these, I was leading a group of about 40 people in Bosnia almost exactly five years ago. I called them over, and I think that most of the group took photos of it. I'd never dreamed that a spider as spectacular as this could exist in UK! Fabulous!

    John! Well documented photographs of wasp spiders. High quality images. In January 2014 I saw a colony of spider which I photographed and by going through your images I could identify it as a wasp spider.

    John ! Quality photographs. Recently I saw a colony of spider which I could identify it as wasp spider with the help of your photos. Thank you. I see many types of spiders some of which may be new.
