Spider alert - Underbelly

Apologies to the arachnophobics but I was fascinated looking at the underbelly of this garden orb weaving spider.  I have never noticed but each leg has a hook which is hanging on to the web.  My little jumpers and lynx spiders don't have that but then they don't live on webs I suppose.

Thanks to JDO for hosting Tiny Tuesday this month.

Very sad about the horse that had to be put down in the Melbourne Cup today.  It's astounding how many horses die in races throughout the year.  And as usual, I placed nowhere in the office sweep.
