W for WET WEB. Curious that the drop right at the tiny spider's head is far larger than any other.

to be more scientific, I wondered if the spiders "skin" (chitin) shed rather than held condensed water which drains off and accumulates on the first bit of web encountered, so that spot collects water condensing over the entire surface of the spider---- but I like your explanation better.

Phew-And there I was thinking my spider was eccentric!
Your scientific explanation makes a lot of sense.
My spider and I shall raise a glass or two!

Z is for Zoom (posted this one before back in April but was trying out an editing program today with this shot so you have to suffer my over-cooked results..)

E for ENTRANCE. You'd need to bend low or even crawl to get through.

Glad if everyone got a kick or chuckle out of the alphabet picture I posted above FYI: I didn't originally intend to make an entire alphabet out of the image. It was in the desktop folder as a possible posting under "blue," but then I thought, maybe there's a better way to use this image. I could post as "A" for AMERICAN BAR, or "C" for COFFEE. Then I looked carefully at the name of the supermarket and the sign posted to the left of its entry and realized there were 20 letters* of the alphabet, and about an hour's search turned up all the rest. Sorry that some (insulators, ZIP, and CZ for examples) cannot be seen at the scale & resolution of the posted image.

*the Supermarket signs provide: A, C, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, W, and Y, and also imply "B" for BAKERY and "G" for GROCERIES.

F-Frog- The African Clawed Frog or Platanna-Here's some info from Google.
All species of Xenopus have flattened, somewhat egg-shaped and streamlined bodies, as well as very slippery skin (because of a protective mucous covering). The frog's skin is smooth albeit with a lateral line sensory organ that has a stitch-like appearance. The frogs are all excellent swimmers and have powerful, fully-webbed toes though the fingers lack webbing. Three of the toes on each foot have conspicuous black claws. The frog's eyes are positioned on top of the head, looking upwards. The pupils are circular. They have no moveable eyelids, tongues (rather it is completely attached to the floor of the mouth or eardrums (similarly to the Surinam toad). Internally, they are somewhat unique in that, unlike most amphibians, they have no haptoglobin in their blood.
