クロマルイソウロウグモ
文一総合出版の『日本のクモ』の中の解説によれば、「オオヒメグモ，カグヤヒメグモ，ヒメグモなどの網に侵入して網の主を捕食する。」らしい
よく見ると確かに、枯れ葉の家の側に蜘蛛らしき亡骸があるし、この蜘蛛が食べている最中だったのだろう

DEATH, GOD, &
A VERY SMALL SPIDER 💎
I am increasingly aware that I will leave this world. I don’t know when. I don’t know how. Perhaps within the next decade. Perhaps sooner. Who knows.
And strangely, there is less fear in that now. Most of the fear seems to belong to what I imagine is unknown.
If death is simply the end of Robin and the end of this consciousness, then there will be nobody there to be bothered by it. It will simply be over. And if there is something beyond this life, another realm, another dimension, another form of consciousness, then I suppose I will recognise it when I get there.
I don’t know. And I am quite happy not knowing.
Human beings have created manifold books, religions and pictures of God, spirit, heaven, continuation and eternity. Perhaps some of them point towards something true. Perhaps some are simply beautiful ways of comforting ourselves in the face of death.
But every picture I can make of what comes next is still a picture being made here.
I don’t want to manufacture comfort. I want clarity. I want to meet whatever happens without having already decided what it is supposed to look like.
Maybe there is something. Maybe there is nothing. Either way, reality does not require my opinion.
And while I am sitting here contemplating this enormous mystery, a tiny spider appears beside me. He is absurdly small. I stop, look at him, laugh, and decide he can stay.
And suddenly, there it all is. Death. Consciousness. God. Eternity. And a tiny spider wandering across my morning.
The fire is on. The coffee is good. People are interacting with things I have written. The spider is minding his own business.
Life has not stopped being ordinary just because I know it ends. I rather like that.
None of it means anything until I give it meaning. And this morning, the meaning I choose is very simple.
Gratitude.

A few hours of summer are left...sad for the end of watermelons and peaches, but I'm so ready for autumn.

カトウツケオグモ
角度的にこれが限界だったので横からの写真しかないけれど、特徴的にこれしかなさそう
『日本のクモ』によれば「個体数は極めて少なく，稀少種」とのこと
初めて見るクモでとても特徴的だったので印象に残ったけど、稀少種だったことにも感動した
そういう種がいられる環境があるのが有難い

Slightly warmer and it's expected to trend up, but it will be 55f/13c at dawn. I can't complain.
Sorry arachnophobes but they are beautiful, working hard toward their season's end.
Have a good evening and a great weekend, everyone.

European garden spider (Araneus diadematus), this was lurking outside my back door on its web. It was too windy to try a stack, so I tried a few high speed bursts. These are probably the best out of the bunch. I thought I would post them anyway. I tried shooting underneath against the sky, but couldn't quite capture the head as I wanted. The other image is looking down on its back.
