Why don't many people like spider photos? Shots of pretty butterflies are generally much preferred. This image shows some remarkable behaviour - found this beautiful spider protecting its nest of eggs attached securely to the underside of a hydrangea leaf. I have observed this same behaviour before (see first comment box). This was shot on a sunny and relatively calm morning, but even after several days of strong wind and rain, the spider and its nest are still there. You certainly wouldn't find this sort of behaviour in a butterfly!
