Another large bottlecap-size Orb-Weaver Spider (Araneidae)
12/30/09
Look close! Here is another large winter bottlecap-size Orb-Weaver Spider (family Araneidae) that I found under the eaves of our roof. I found it a couple of weeks ago, and I don't think it's moved since then. Today seemed a good day to try for a photo, since it's been gloomy and drizzling all day so I had nothing else to photograph. (San Marcos Pass, 30 December 2009)
I had to balance my tripod on three chairs to get this photo looking almost straight up. The exposure is 8 seconds @ f/22 @ ISO 200 while I held my breath!
I took a couple more photos with flash, but I like this one better. The spider seems to have a mournful expression painted on its abdomen! You can see the neat pattern of "stars" it uses to fasten itself upside down.
