cross spider

Great photo of the spider. I'm glad they aren't as big as they appear...or is this one?

Joan, have no fear, this one is about one centimetre (less than one third of an inch) long, outstretched legs included. I's fairly fat at this time of the year, shortly before depositing egss after which she'll die. The young ones, getting out of their eggs in Spring, will have to fend for themselves. Thanks very much for your comment. Cheers, Sam.
