  • 02 Sep 2010 - Spider (Araneus diadematus) encounter. Copyright Peter Drury 2010<br />
The male (top right) was waiting at the edge of the female's web. He tentavely tested his welcome knowing that the wrong move could result in his death. While I was watching, the male approached the female like this several times and immediately retreated to the edge of the web, checking to see if the female was responsive or just plain hungry!

The spider is in the process of moulting. I had not realised this until I reviewed the images I had taken. A golden opportunity missed.
