Ogre dinner time - a photo on Flickriver

Ogre dinner time

            Always a delight to come across an ogre spider, this one a little female seen at night-time. 

These spiders do not spin conventional webs, instead they hang out like this with a tiny silken net strung between their front legs when hunting, ready to ensnare a passing meal. 

Here, I've captured a moment in time of her in the process of making her net. 

Deinopis subrufa female, 10 mm body length.
