Anomaly ... Along came a weevil, looking to sup on the butterfly bush nectar, the spider ignored.

Or could that be a baby spider … I don’t think so. :-)

And mates ... A delicate operation, delivering his seed from the other side of the web, for safety.

Instinctively balanced between survival and reproduction imperatives.

She, being relocated on a stick as too close to the orange tail resin bee hotels.

He is content in his own web, waiting on an unlucky visitor to the butterfly bush. Gotta keep his strength up.

I don't like spiders, but these are very good pics. Sharp and colorful.

Lovely captures Mark. Guess the spider was not hungry or weevils do not taste very nice

Mark,

An excellent set. it could be that prey is recognised only when caught in the web.

Thanks for comments all, appreciated.

Brian and Harold - The spider had just feasted on butterflies, that migration I posted of recently - https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1474215 - so it may just have been sated.

These ones don't have a web to catch prey Harold, they ambush from flowers.

Masters of Macro keep showing us a part of nature we easily miss. Fantastic images! Keep posting these really interesting images with some commentary about what we are seeing.
