This Spider set up home outside my kitchen window. Never managed a dorsal view as it was in an awkward corner to get near. Can it be ID'd from these shots? Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [56.55Kb] Edited by Roger Thomason on 09-12-2008 16:34 |

At my kitchenwindow there is allways Meta segmentata (Metellina s.). That species is less firm then M. merianae. Klaas |

Hi Tony and Klaas, thanks for taking the time to look at my Spider. I didn't expect it to be M.merianae which was my previous post  . Thought the colours were different, but I am looking through streaming eyes ( and all other orifices ) at the moment....MAN flu, or as my wife likes to call it "a slight cold". Sympathy factor--NIL.
