hmmm... I just noticed that the title reads the same forwards as it does backwards, like there's a mirror between the words.

Caught these lovely insect webs in the London sun a little while back. Now that I'm exploring everything with a keen eye to take pictures with, I've noticed just how covered in webs everything is!

Happy New Year to all of my Flickr friends! I'm looking forward to sharing another year with all of you.
The Nursery Web Spider (Pisaura mirabilis) is a relatively large, slender-bodied spider, varying in colour from grey through orangey to dark brown. There is a leaf-shaped marking on the top of the abdomen, a pale stripe just behind the head and pale ‘tear marks’ at the sides of its eyes.
This common spider of grassland and scrub, is usually found in nettle beds or other dense vegetation. In early spring Nursery Web Spiders can be seen stretched out on stems and leaves of brambles and nettles, sunning themselves, typically holding their front two pairs of legs together pointing forwards. These spiders do not spin a web to catch food. They are active hunters, using quick sprinting and strength to capture insects that venture near! They can usually be seen between May and July. They are a common lowland species south of a line from north Yorkshire to the southern Lake District although there are scattered records throughout Scotland.
Mating is a dangerous game for the male Nursery Web Spider, and so the male presents the female with a present of a wrapped insect hoping this will satisfy her hunger, and avoid her eating him!
After mating, the female Nursery Web Spider lays her eggs into a silk cocoon. She carries her large, round egg-sac in her fangs. Just before the eggs hatch, she makes a nursery web in the vegetation. She releases her spiderlings into this tent, sheltering them inside. The spiderlings remain in this tent until after their first moult. The female stays close by until all the spiderlings have dispersed.
