Ogre dinner time
Always a delight to come across an ogre spider, this one a little female seen at night-time.
These spiders do not spin conventional webs, instead they hang out like this with a tiny silken net strung between their front legs when hunting, ready to ensnare a passing meal.
Here, I've captured a moment in time of her in the process of making her net.
Asianopis subrufa female, 10 mm body length.
