That top one is a Jewel Spider from Oz and what a beauty she is. Is there a connection between the 4 pictures Keith?
Cheers

I've saw a couple of those Christmas spiders whilst travelling around Oz. It cannot be denied they are fantastic, much like the Thorny devil!

It's funny how attractive ladybirds are to us isn't it? I remember as a kid keeping them for a while in match boxes, before releasing them. Also remember that if one landed on you and got trapped in your clothing it would bite.
I saw a harlequin ladybird in the garden last week - my first - and sent off the pic of it to the counters/plotters.
I saw the rocks in Morecambe Bay near the ferry slip opposite Fleetwood red with them once - quite a sight to see so many thousands.
