Eresus sandaliatus
Mariehøneedderkop
Ladybird Spider

One of the, if not the most strikingly gorgeous spiders I have had the good fortune to encounter. It is, unfortunately, quite rare in Denmark. It is mostly too cold and damp, but one of the very few places it lives in Denmark is on the heath, where I spent a lot of my youth.

@nev Deceptively so. They are quite cranky when disturbed, and this one was hankering to show me the business end of those fangs. But still so very cute.
