    I saw this little chap yesterday whilst having a mooch around the garden, he was so small; not much bigger than aphid, so I was pleased with the photo I got using a macro setting on my camera. Not seen this species of spider before...:)

      Not 100% sure Bilbo but it looks like a species of Crab Spider, of which there are many.

            Super snap. I've never seen a spider like that one.
