Bog Spider

macro 139-Timahoe West Kildare Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Lens


The bog spider is relatively frequent on blanket bogs where it is generally found close to bog pools. It is a large species which has distinctive yellow/white bands down its brown body. It waits along the margins of pools and feels for vibrations on the water surface. Once an insect lands on the surface it darts out and catches its prey.

Very interesting shot. Strange to see the depressions made by the feet. Is that seen if you're just watching?
