WASP SPIDERS.

I have found 3 colonies of Wasp Spiders this year, a bit later than usual I think.

Editing these is not Sues favourite job!!  John

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.



Out and About

The Wasp Spiders seem to be thriving, I found another colony some distance from last years.
I assume that the smaller, dead one in the web is the male.

More from the Insect world.

Everywhere you look at the moment insects are either mating or killing each other.

This is a selection of recent insect shots. The Privet Hawk-Moth was found (as a chrysalis) in the garden of our friend Nigel, who brought it around for John to see, once it had pupated.
