Any of several three leaf plants can be correctly called shamrocks, including (the most popular) white clover (Trifolium repen), red clover, sorrels, and black medock. So if it looks like a shamrock it is OK to call it a shamrock. Now a four leaf clover (lucky) is most likely to be a white clover plant with an extra leaf, it cannot be a shamrock, because by definition a shamrock has three leaves. I just love this trivia stuff. Guess it’s time for bed.

Thanks Terry! Now I can say it again.......love those SHAMROCKS!!

Possibly Theridion tinctum.
Anyway... it's a male.

My sproglets and I went on a lovely walk in the sunshine today and thought we'd share some of the little treasures we came across.

I tried to turn the third one around but it didn't want to play.
