Lakenheath Spiders

Spiders were the most numerous invertebrates at Lakenheath RSPB reserve yesterday - with the temperature reaching 30 degrees they were very active with many males trying their skill at mating. Here Araneus marmoreus and Araneus diadematus with a few extra 'portraits'. The garden spider encounter did not end well with the male taking what looked like a lethal bite. Araneus quadratus were less numerous and escaped my lens.
