We have only one set of Readers’ Wildlife left, so I’m putting in a “Spot the. . .” feature from Neil Taylor of Cambridge in the UK. But please send in your photos, folks.
Neil says this:
The first photo is a tree stump draped in spider webs in which a spider is hiding. . . .I’m not a spider expert but I think it is a running crab spider (Philodromus sp.). Quite a beautiful little thing.
Can you spot it? I’ll post the reveal at 11 a.m. Chicago time. I think this is of medium difficulty. Please do not reveal in the comments where it is; let others have the fun of finding it.
Got it quickly…only after enlarging.
Likewise!
I let the cats spot the spiders.
Got it!
Cool –
Something elegant about the silk strands once I get over the knee-jerk fuzzblob/mess/yuck reaction – zooming in, following the shimmering strands…. like there is a reason for each connection…
I saw it, too. After I got over the “fuzzblob/mess/yuck reaction”…
This Debra does also. The fuzz is confusing, but after enlarging, it’s right there.
Got it, about 15 seconds. Was a bit more difficult than I expected. (Of course, I have no basis for any expectation of how long it will take.)
