User's notes
One adult and four youngsters. The latter are protected by web work. The leaf (E. bakelyi) is partly curled by web work. The natural profile of this image was a flat leaf with the spider on the upper surface. The leaf has been turned by the photographer to catch the sunlight for image capture purposes. The spider remained motionless while this was being done. Post processing concentrated on lightning darker areas.
