Precious Pebble, Pt. 3 (Cropped Version) - _TNY_4901C
A female nursery web spider (Pisaura mirabilis) carrying her spherical egg sac around before it's time to create a nursery web for them.
Here she's sitting on the hand of my son (then aged nine) and when seeing the photos afterwards he remarked quite disappointed that I didn't do the size of it justice.
This is a closer crop to show a little more detail. The less cropped version is here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/49103050192/
