Captured in the front yard, in the orange/lime tree.
Some species from the Araneidae family (common orb weavers). Obviously male. I think the genus is Neoscona.
This spider spun its web across the stairway down to our back garden (St. Louis, Missouri) this evening. Captured at night, with flash.
View large, if you're hard enough!
The golden silk orb-weavers (genus Nephila) are a genus of araneomorph spiders noted for the impressive webs they weave. Nephila consists of numerous individual species found around the world. They are also commonly called golden orb-weavers, giant wood spiders or banana spiders. In North America, the golden silk orb-weavers (see also Nephila clavipes) are sometimes referred to as writing spiders due to occasional zigzag patterns (stabilimenta) built into their webs, though these occur much more frequently in the webs of Argiope, such as the St Andrew's Cross spider. They usually eat their mate.
ich hab es aus dem Bild ausgeschnitten und vergrößert, um zu sehen was das ist. Ich finde es eigentlich recht gruselig...was sagt ihr?
One of my favorite pictures of Orbs. These are definitely spirit Orbs and many are of animals but then also people too.
I took about 6 photos in the cemetery last evening, this is the only one that had orbs(?) in it. What do you think?
Yellow (Golden) Orb Weaver
Black and Yellow Argiope
If you see these little guys around your front porch or garden - they're doing more good than harm. They make unique and beautiful webs, hence their name "orb weaver." Plus, they're harmless to humans and pets and beneficial to the environment. :)
This spider was hanging out on Sunset Blvd. It was very large. Hopefully, it has been correctly identified as an Orb-Weaving Garden Spider.
This is hanging itself out to dry, having recently shed its skin.
It's a young one. Body less than 1cm.
Leider bekommt man mit der X100 keinen Staub angeblitzt, der durchaus vorhanden war. Daher sind meine Orbs nur normale Flares. Ganz zu Anfang haben mich die Flares bei der Fuji echt genervt, aber mitlerweile finde ich die als Stilmittel absolut toll.
Das Bild ist nur beschnitten und der Schwarzwert ist ein wenig gekappt.
Orbs are believed (by many) to be ghosts in the form of balls of light. They are life forms that travel in groups and are believed to be the human soul or life force of those that once inhabited a physical body here on earth.
Took the orbs to the sea side. Was hampered a bit by the mist rolling in. But they didn't seem to mind.
A Female Tropical Orb Weaver (Eriophora ravilla) on a Hibiscus. I took it in Ft. Lauderdale, FL with a Sanyo CG6. Please take the time to click the "all sizes" button above and see this bigger, it's a really cool shot!
An orb-weaving species, wasp spider (Argiope bruennichi) spins large, beautiful webs that require an hour to create. The thick, zigzagging line in the middle of the web may serve to entrance and attract its prey. As its name suggests, it is capable of wrapping, biting, and injecting various species of wasp. Females consume the smaller males after copulation.
Taken out at the Baylands Trails in Sunnyvale.
This is a spider, I promise. Steve spotted it and had to point it out to me pretty closely before I could see it. It's all balled up like a fist, which camouflages it pretty well against this spiky plant.
It was sitting next to an orb web; but I don't know for sure that it was his.
Second attempt at super macro photography with my 50mm.. I'm slowly getting to the point where I can't even crop my photos even more - plus getting sharp focus on something that only takes up 1/4 of my single focus point in my viewfinder is proving to be a bit tricky :)
Enjoy nonetheless.
Thanks for viewing!
The word orb comes from the Latin orbem, which is defined as a "circle, disc or ring". It was first applied to astronomy in the 1520s, to describe hollow spheres that carried planets and stars in the Ptolemaic system.
Thanks to Google, I'm an entymologist!
