Whilst photographing fritillaries I happened to notice a web of spiderlings. On closer inspection the female appeared - well camouflaged and very feisty! It seems that she is a nurse web spider, the name is appropriate, Pisaurus mirabilis, presumably under recorded looking at the NBN atlas!
I was then photographing the marsh cinquefoil, one of my favourites, when I noticed the bees.
