Impressive capture, well spotted. Compositions like this are always a bit static perhaps, but you've done the best you could with the subject.

Superb behaviour capture Matthew! This 'pidey really is trying its best to mould itself to the form of the seed head and become invisible. Wonderful detail and a fine shot.

Excellent image - love the detail and the background. I think it's a long-jawed spider (Tetragnathidae).

It looks pretty grand to me.These clingy type spiders are hard to get a decent shot of.

Hey that pose worked for me. I had to look a few times to figure it out. Nice that you even spotted it and captured it the way it was meant to be.
