Great minds think alike. I was just trying and failing to get a decent photo of a similarly robust specimen of the same species not 5 minutes ago while out walking the dog. I’ve been doing a lot of reading about spiders recently as I find them absolutely fascinating.
I used to be one of those arseholes that killed spiders and flies. I let flies back out of the window now and leave spiders well alone. We’ll, I may move them if the web is in the way (sorry spider) but I too am fascinated and think they are amazing creatures. Saw this orange variant the other day.
