Crab spider ( Xysticus ulmi)
Sorry arachnophobes , but I have never seen this species in the garden before as it likes damp marshy low vegetation ! well it has been wet recently !! this is an in-camera 15 image focus bracket, as well as the nursery web spider image.
With the temperature rising about 6 degrees the front garden has been a hive of activity the Cotoneaster is alive with bees, yet it looked like it might have died in the winter !
Also seen a 14 spot and a 22 spot lady bird ( No harlequins :-) )
In the extras today the 14 spot lady bird, an Orb weaver ( Araniella cucurbitina ) with prey and a Nursery web spider ( Pisaura mirabilis)
we had our tea on the patio, daughter and partner did a barbeque and I had salad :-)
