Description

This gentleman was making a very tentative approach toward a lady he fancied. I could not get them in the same shot. You can see the object of his attentions Here

well for a spider, the lady in waiting may be a 'hot catch', but as a human, I'll have to pass. Sorry, I get a little skittish once the number of legs go over "2"...but this is a dramatically lit spider, whose legs seem transparent, and dangling on a mere two threads, with its other legs suspended in pure space. I love that suspension! And with the light on top, it's like he's moving towards the light. In Native American cultures, the female spider is a symbol of wisdom, as "Spider Woman" is a character in many peoples' lore, and she's wise, and she's powerful. So maybe this male has to put on a good show to get her attention. Wonderful capture, Andrea, it feels like a high wire capture, and all that dark really brings out the spider's beautiful highlights.

What we males won't do for love! As superb as this is the one of the lady is brilliant. I love the light on her web. I was listening to Public Radio yesterday where someone was talking about spiders. The female will spin her web which can include pheromones to attract the male.

Since Mark brought up Native Americans, I thought I'd mention Native Africans. Among the Ashanti people of Ghana this handsome fellow is known as Kwaku Anansi, Kwaku being the Akan word for spider. He is a trickster and champion of the people.
