                        Different white Sika to the above one as it has the start of antlers (velvet) and is even paler.

                              At last I have found some Wasp Spiders, I saw none last year, plus a couple of Raft Spiders.
                              September is a better time to spot them as the female makes thick white zigzag webbing which here they have just started. They are at the northerly edge of their range only found from Dorset, Wiltshire and the SE of the UK. Their bite is comparable to a Bee sting.
