Jewel Spider

Description:

Today it felt like i hit the jackpot - i spotted this little lady just over our fence. Lucky for me - we get on well with all our neighbours so it was no biggie to go over to get a shot. It's a shame that it is so breezy at the moment - these are the best i could manage. They are also known as spiny spiders (gee, i wonder why?) and Christmas spiders.
