So this is one of many macro pictures I have taken of this extremely tiny garden orb weaving spider, ‘Zilla Diodia’.. they are about the same size as a Money spider. I was highly amused when I first took a decent macro pic of one and noticed in the now expanded detail none other than Mr.T staring back at me , and smiling …from that day forth its what I now always refer to them as, The MrT Spider … I’ve even used it as my Profile Pic.
Another little belter, of a little belter :o)
Many Thanks , they are as you say, ‘Little Belters’ … I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw the first macro pic I took, I don’t suppose there are many of us now who know who MrT is though I guess.
I do ... as will a few of our regulars!

If I remember correctly Mr. T (of the TV series the A Team?) didn't like flying.
Small species of spiders (and spiderlings?) are known to fly by sending up a thread and letting the wind catch it.
Well, there does seem to be a more learned and discerning membership on here, when I first put one of my pics up of this spider on facebook and mentioned MrT, about 90% of the comments I got back were.. “Who??”
Yep tuwit, I believe he was , he also turned up in one of the Rocky films…. then he turned up in my garden dressed as a tiny spider years later
