Description

Another night shot of the orb weaver that lives in my garden. I know half of yall think I am crazy, getting close to these creepy crawlies...I am actually terrified of the thought of a spider crawling on me! I am very careful not to get close enough for them to attack. :-) Thank you for you much appreciated comments and helpful advice! Have a wonderful evening! Wendy Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30

Females tend to be better models and hence your success. Excellent detail.

As big and as bad as this little critter is, it makes me say "EEEEEWWWWWWW"!!!!!!! I don't think that my macro lens can get far enough away to take a picture like this. What a brave hunter you are!!!!!!! LOL and HUGS !!!!!!!
