Wolves Wild

Not a spider, but still an arachnid. This individual seems to have lost one of its legs.

Also known as Fuller’s Thistles, these spiny plants were once cultivated for use in processing wool.

From the shape, it is easy to see where this group of small insect species get their name.

This is the 404th post since this blog started exactly a year ago today. After one missed day in the first week, there has been at least one posting every day.

Now to see if I can keep up that momentum without too much repetition.

The cross spider is very commonly seen in houses and gardens at this time of year.

These tiny and delicate mushrooms were growing through moss and barely peeping above it.
