Used the close up lens, it was tricky though because she was so busy she kept moving and the whole web was shaking due to the size of her. Could have done without the plant in the background that is too bright but I like the pink and the bit of web that she is working on. I was really brave and got close - had it been a frog now that would have been a completely different story!
Your very clever in being able to sex this spider.lol We have a similar spider which has built a huge web across our kitchen window, I sit there every morning having my breakfast and watch it.
ReplyDeleteI have not quite got round to getting the camera out yet, but in awe of how these amazing insects can build something so huge and complex and which even man with all his technology would be unable to achieve. Well done the spiders of the world.

ReplyDeleteWhat I meant to say was, I think it comes from a life long love of the book 'Charlotte's Web' which makes me think of every spider as being female. If only this one could spin a long word in her web just like Charlotte we would be rich!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid your last post has been totally lost on an old man like me , never having read or know anything about Charlotte's web. But I will make enquires from those who might know. lol
ReplyDeleteIt's quite an old child's book about a runt piglet that a little girl gets to keep and look after. However, when the pig gets bigger the farmer wants to take him to market so his friends in the barn yard try to think of a way to save his life. Charlotte the spider spins a web with "amazing pig" in the centre, the farm becomes famous and Wilbur the pig is saved. Hooray.
ReplyDeleteLove the pink backdrop, suits Mrs Spider ;0)
