    Those are great photos. Although most people despise spiders, I love them. They help keep the "bad" insects out of the garden.

    Well I never knew there were quite so many different species of spiders living in gardens. The Lynx Spider looks very strange with those spikes on its legs doesn't it? I don't think we have them over here.
    I must keep a closer eye on the ones in my own garden and see how many different ones I can find.

    I have many more spider images with a lot of them with prey, and these include bees and honey bees too, they are not to particular what they have for lunch.
