Soft and safe spider sanctuary
A soft, mellow yellow haven for this tiny spider. It was hard to photograph, being so deep within the foliage, but I hope
I have portrayed the little haven that it inhabited and the protection that it might have felt within its refuge.
And I love the even tinier water drop caught on the silk.
This is Badumna longinqua, native to the eastern parts of this country. The species can be found living in tree trunks, rock walls, retreats and foliage within tangled webbing. Once they have found such a refuge, they sit and wait for prey to pass by.
Around 5 mm body length.
