Other option is it may of lost an eye at an early stage of it's life, and with the subsequent moults the skin has just covered the wound.<br />As for the weather, still got wild flowers flowering in the garden, campion mainly, had a buttercup flowering this weekend and also saw a bumble bee, and the snow drops have pushed their shoots through already. Only in England !!<br /><br />Jason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512356822916609819.post-91681792173023486752013-11-26T23:37:22.296+00:002013-11-26T23:37:22.296+00:00Thank-you for suggesting the spider website Maria,...Thank-you for suggesting the spider website Maria, think I may just do that and see what they think. You seem to have been having similar weather to us in deepest Kent-no frosts much, I even saw a magnolia tree in bud yesterday.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07910443806244769469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512356822916609819.post-74517605701208744252013-11-26T16:04:23.456+00:002013-11-26T16:04:23.456+00:00Another beautiful series of images and a superb bl...Another beautiful series of images and a superb blog JJ! That spider is something else! Not sure I'd have noticed the 'missing' eye! Lol! Might be worth getting in touch with BAS (http://wiki.britishspiders.org.uk/index.php5?title=Main_Page) to see what they think about it. Hope Earthshine's theory isn't right but it could well be!<br /><br />Have seen quite a few flowers out still here and our trees have also hung on to their leaves until very recently. (Some still are). Having said that, we've not yet had too many hard frosts...

I just hope its result of nature trying out its own ways but given what world our speices have created, cant stop thinking if its defect caused by exposure to some environmental pollutants.<br />btw, autumn colours are nice. something we at lower latitude don't get to enjoy.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17718699425013457102noreply@blogger.com
