All taken in my backyard this morning. Thanks for looking!

Thanks Kev, Duncan and Liz!

I missed the actual attack by the spider because I was inside downloading the first set of images (my card was full) - so I figured it was too late for any rescue attemps Kev. Anyway, the spider did look hungry!!!

Cheers,
Stephen
