When it comes to predatory invertebrates, Australia really doesn't mess around. Here's a few of my favourites shots from my recent trip round 'Straya.

We have, in order, a praying mantis, a Victoria funnel-web spider, a blue garden flatworm, and a little scorpion who posed very patiently for me!

2018. I was going to bin this. This is a close crop and I have better shots of this #butterfly but then I look at the goings on under the flower head. The #wasp was probably going to have the butterfly, but a #spider has the wasp. You can just make out the spider legs. Butterfly has escaped two predators. #Commonblue #commonbluebutterfly #insect #flower #naturephotography #insects #sandwasp

A butterfly on a flower. Under the flower is a wasp that could have attackedd the butterfly but the wasp has been nabbed by a spider for its dinner. The butterfly doesn't know.

Wolfsspinnen sind nicht nur ausgezeichnete Jäger, sondern kümmern sich auch um ihren Nachwuchs. Das Weibchen trägt ihn auf dem Rücken, bis sie selbstständig jagen können. Als ich diese Spinne aus einem Swimming Pool rettete, fielen mir erst beim Absetzen auf einem Felsen die vielen kleinen Spinnen auf ihrem Rücken auf. Diese Spinnen sind für Menschen mit einer Phobie wahrscheinlich unerträglich, deshalb CW. #macro #spider #arachnida #focusstack

Plexippus paykulli is a species of jumping spider. It is native to south east Asia but has spread to other parts of the world and globe. In the United States it is called the pantropical jumping spider. It is usually associated with buildings and may be found near light sources catching insects attracted by the light.

#Spider #Spiders #Communication #Anthropomorphism

If you want to remove a spider from your flat but you're disgusted or slightly scared (very mild #arachnophobia), here's a trick:

1. Give the spider a name (like "Susy" or "Steven").

2. When approaching the spider with the glas jar, talk to it in a soothing voice, using its name, as if calming it down ("now, Susy, it's fine, just a glass jar, you'll be okay").

For me this does actually work.
