One of a series I took of Spiders mating.

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong

Lovely detail and background Ian, I don't know what they're doing but I'm sure they could find a more comfortable place to do it

Well captured.

Good looking image Ian, subjects are nicely isolated against the lovely green BG.

I think you maybe right about the possible mating, think he might be on borrowed time after the deed is done

LOL Andy G's comments
