Achaearanea tepidariorum
The image is part of a display I put together on web building of local spiders. Hence the text.

I took that shortly after an egg sac emerged. So those would be babies (you can see a second, out-of-focus one behind the lettering).
I can see another smaller spider in the photo, is that one of it's prey? or an incredibly dimorphic tiny male?
nice idea, good work, hope you get ot it on the list
It isn't online. I created some models of spider webs using various strings etc. and then these images were printed and included alongside. I wasn't entirely happy with the way the webbing turned out .. but one of these days I want to get around to approaching that idea again and combining some of my video work on monitors and whatnot. Do it up proper and such .. but it currently sitting on a very long "to do" list and won't likely happen in the short-term.
is the display online dave? can we get a link?
Fantastic! This looks very professional! The photo is great! Crystal clear!
Nice work Dave!
