Hi Alf.

No5 with the parasitic wasp is really interesting, never seen that before.

I really like 2, and I've looked at the orb spider in it's 'home' lots, it's hard to work out if it's curled up and great to see as well.
 
Very unusual I have only ever seen that once - sadly it was in a hard place to photograph so didn't come out like that.

Was the other photo taken nearby? This is the one I saw in the Amazon, it was deep in the tunnel so couldn't really get a good photo.

The spider in the linked thread was about 30 miles away

Your spider in its retreat is always an issue to shoot but as they tend not to move just keep at it is my aproach and shoot a few shots. getting the focus in the right spot is the key its a pity you didnt get the fcus quite right.

Sadly it was on a guided tour and people were hurrying to see a tarantula so I had a time issue. Tarantulas are very easy to see, I once had one climb on me in the shower, so the rush was a bit irritating and strange.

I'm only starting to see spiders coming out now, and they seem to be pretty small ones at the minute,
