Steatoda bipunctata and her supper

[Paul Iddon]

Tonight, the wind is howling and gusting - certainly not the right conditions for night photography!

Didn't stop me though folks!

This is the Steatoda bipunctata (one of the false widow spiders, also known as the Rabbit Hutch Spider) on the garden fence wrapping up her capture - a hapless small froghopper.

Just like the spider, that was nicely captured Paul.

Thank you Chris. The wind was problematic - I stayed out looking for subjects for barely 5 minutes. I usually spend a good half hour wandering around the garden.
