Recommended Posts

I think they are baby spiders - we had a ball on an outside chair last week which mysteriously moved somewhere else overnight. There was big, presumably Mummy, spider close by. I did identify her as a pisaura mirabilis (I'm not a spider expert - I have an excellent book and she did me the favour of looking exactly like her photo!) She's a lovely browny grey and often holds her 4 front legs together so she looks like she has 2 wide legs and 4 normal ones.
