Kissing Toes - _TNY_3917
A male raft spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus) cleaning one of his feet after a short walk on the water of lake Långsjön in the Paradiset nature reserve in Huddinge, Sweden on Midsummer's Eve.
Unfortunately for Mr. Raft here, he had been in some sort of altercation and was getting by on just six legs. He tried running away from us on the water, but there the lack of two legs really hurt him and he was making very poor speed so I put him back on solid ground.
Another shot of him here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52999671762/
And a shot my wife took of me in the middle of photographing this one and forgetting to not make a silly face: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53000746833/
