Green Leaf Web Spider (Nigma Walckenaeri)

I've been enjoying myself recently with a new macro lens, looking for interesting (and tiny) subjects to photograph in the back garden.

 

Whilst initially concentrating on a fly, I noticed a small, green blob on leaf - when I looked at that blob through the viewfinder, I realised it was a small spider, just settling down for it's meal!

 

I used a diffused flash to brighten the subject and allow for a smaller aperture to get enough of the spider in focus.
