Guten Tag Peter,
Ein feines Bild, sehr diskret auf dem Thumbnail. Aber eine sehr schöne diagonale Präsentation und ein feiner grüner Hintergrund für diese inzteressante Spinne an einem gut sichtbaren Faden hängend. Gefällt mir sehr.
Einen schönen Sonntag Dir und Deiner Famile
Herzlich grüsst
Anne

Hallo Peter
Wow but this spider's colours are so eye-catching and truly beautiful. I fancy the point of view as well as the composition and the finer details like the webthread is an additional bonus to this great macro. Thanks for sharing an interesting note too. Best regards.
