The Importance of Colour Matching - _TNY_9037
This little mother-to-be is a comb-footed spider (Enoplognatha ovata). She had chosen the folds between the cushions in the patio furniture as the best place to place her eggsac in wait of the young ones emerging.
I can sort of see why she chose it on account of how beautifully the colour matches her own, but for us hoping to use the cushions it was less than ideal.
I successufully moved both spider and egg sac to a nearby bush and they looked alright there.
