I’m not particularly fond of spiders, and I normally wouldn’t use the words attractive and arachnid in the same sentence but, for these particular spiders I am prepared to make an exception.

The first is apparently Australia’s most photographed spider, the Two Spined Spider and it has been living under a ginger leaf in the garden for several weeks. The second is a St. Andrew’s Cross which has taken up residence on a Ruby Turmeric plant.

If only they were all this beautiful !
