A Spider of Distinction

This was a season of spiders, from eency-whincey on up to big and bulky. Brigitte spotted this rather large Spider of Distinction. She has good eyes because this formidable harridan had disguised herself magnificently hanging in the air very near to a brick wall. Indeed, the spider is still there today, as patient as the ages.

It seems to us, looking at the creature first in Nature and now in Pixel Land, that this portrait is taken from under the harridan, featuring mostly her belly, and legs, but there was not space enough to squeeze between her web and the wall—and, moreover, we would have had to photograph into the sun.
