Species


Excellence in design. It is something intangible. This medium-sized example has it's home in the Ongerup district of Western Australia........unquestionably beautiful. It's full length was between 10 and 12 cm. Believe me, I wasn't going to get any closer. She has a stinging bite if disturbed and if you look closely, her back has eight fine white spots and a dusty layer of fine hairs. On the day I took this rare photograph, she was suspended on a few tough threads suspended over a distance of a few meters. The flies are wrapped up instantly and collected over a few days in preparation for the life which will emerge from her pale champagne coloured nest which she has spun between flower branches below.


Great design websites I have found recently are:

www. core77. com        (design portfolios,competitions and scholarships)
www.bigdesigninspirations.com                       (examples of great design)
