I spy a spider

I spy a wet web. Notice how the dewdrops act as lenses to focus on the distant horizon, upside down of course.

Beautiful shots here everyone-especially WPRESTO.
I spy some drops on a spiders web. Not as grand as Wpresto. This is a Trap door Spider, on the ground..

I spy a flower with big stamens. Anybody know this plant? It was new to me when I took this picture a couple weeks back.

I don't know the name of your flower, but I spy more of them there stamens

Lovely colours Ter-or. that bug looks wierd. Been trying to figure out where are its eyes?

Reposting this as I think Nesster's next post refers to this bug.

The pink spot, a bit lower on the face than you might expect the eye to be.

Cars again! I spy a stubby little compact that might ultimately have been inspired by a VW bug.

Two ambush bugs eating a honeybee. These are members of the Assassin Bug family, but have mantis-like pincer legs.
