      Thank you Ferdy. I do feel a little bit guilty on this one. I couldn't find the spider so I was moving the curled up leaves and the poor thing fell out. So I grabbed a few shots and left him/her to it. Posted 10 years ago

        It happens, I'm sure it will be fine :) I have a few deaths to my name as well, photographing grasshoppers who thanks to my actions jump straight into a cog web. Posted 10 years ago
