the queen of the crystal palace

Yes, I know, many people are scared of spiders - and to be completely honest: I was too, not too much, but enough for not going to sleep without having the unwanted room mate kicked out of the window - always alive, to be precise!

The big ones still have to sleep outside but I do tolerate the smaller ones now ;)
(In fact, macro shooting was a brilliant therapy ;D)

The species here I couldn´t determine but there´s some royal blood inside these fragile and transparent arms - I´m sure.

Update> Arnd was so kind to add information on this spider :
A money spider (Linyphia triangularis, Baldachinspinne in German).

Thank you so much, again: this is a great and helpful community ;D
