Now these are the size of spiders that I can cope with! Just a shame most of the ones that I see seem to be huge 😮 Lovely storytelling Rachael 🙂

  Yes, I don’t mind these little ones so much. And it’s white and pink which is somehow far less threatening than black for a spider.

  Thanks! As often happens with my bug shots, I was trying to photograph something else when I saw this little spider out of the corner of my eye.
