Wasp Spiders

Well, John's happy. The Wasp Spiders are back. A small colony of around 10 so far.
I'm sorry, but I can't find anything endearing about them. Sue

    Sorry Sue, but I'm with John. I think they're fabulous creatures. And what a great series of images.

    Real Stunners mate, I have never seen one. Maybe you can get Sue to put one in her pocket for the next time we meet.

    Which comes first, good photography or the subject being captured?

    Either way, they are both great to look at. I've never seen anything remotely similar.

    Nicely done John!

    Ugh, I just do not like spiders and yet, I have learned to appreciate them and thus stated, this is a superb looking spider, but I am thrilled that it is not in my home, or garden, I think that I would pass out;( :)

    I love these photos. I don't really care for spiders but am always looking for them because they make such great subjects for photography.

    I've gotta agree with Sue, nothing endearing about these guys! The colors and markings are very striking though and the photos excellent.

    We've got a huge one in the garden.
    Are they poisonous to humans,cats or dogs?
    Should I photograph it or squish it?

    They are safe to Humans.
    Good idea to photograph it,please don't squish it.
    John.
