Spider

Another spider to add to the collection we seem to be creating here.
It was surprisingly hard to take a clear shot of him. The wind was blowing hard and both spider and web were bouncing up and down, never still for a moment.
He has very intricate detail in the brown bands.

nice photo, well done on the clarity under such conditions! we have something similar living in the front yard.

btw, is that a St. Andrews Cross spider? or something in that family?

Hi Josh, yes it's a St Andrews Cross.

David, I'll pass your comment on to my son Jack. He also though that the banding reminded him of Jupiter.

A very unusual spider, neatly presented as well, reminds me of a long legged tick.
