After searching for other images I believe this is an Orb Spider (If someone realises this is wrong please tell me!). After an Elephant ride we were walking along a path and this beast caught my eye. Being someone who can't stand spiders I decided to zoom instead of get up close :)
Taken on a fairly old Sony Cybershot digital camera whilst in Koh Samui (Thailand) in December 2006. In order to improve the colour of the photo I made some saturation adjustments in Photoshop.
The Garden Orb Weavers build large, strong, vertical orb webs. Generally, the spider constructs its web in the evenings and takes it down again at dawn. The spider rests head-down in the centre of the web, waiting for prey.
These little guys are pretty easy to find if the web hasn't been destroyed , just follow the main string of web back to one of the two attached points, usually i find them at the higher side and they will be hiding withing a couple of cm's the web.

Orb-weaver, side view. Quite large - abdomen perhaps 10-12mm long. Spotted making a large slanting orb-web between shrubs in my garden last night. I haven't been able to find any photos of any orb-weavers with such a lumpy appearance so I would be grateful, as always, for ID help.
Met up with a few members of a Valleys Camera Club in Porthcawl on Friday evening. A fun night and I learned something new.

An Orb Weaver Spider with a web suspended between the blades of Reed Canary-grass (Phalaris arundinacea var. arundinacea). The grass is growing in the water immediately adjacent to the steep bank forming the north shore of Edgelaw Reservoir, Temple, Midlothian, Scotland.
I'm not sure how to explain this strange glowing object that seems to move across the upper right... We took this last night in our backyard. Ideas? It looks even stranger when you blow it up...???
Tropical Orb Weaver - Eriophora ravilla
Size
12-24 mm for females
9-13 mm for males
Identification
Generally dull brown, sometimes with white or yellow "shoulders" on the abdomen. An alternate color form, seen sometimes in males and sub-adult females, has a large yellow-green patch on top of the abdomen.
Range
Seems to be mostly a southern species, found mainly in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas along the Gulf Coast of the United States
Remarks
These spiders spin their webs, which can be many feet wide, in the evening. At night they sit in the web. By day, they will usually hide in a rolled-up leaf somewhere near the edge of the web.
a photo taken when the ligts went out (blackouts are frequent in the Philippines) during an evening worship service. These are not dust specs nor raindrops on the lens. More photos of similar orbs were subsequently found on shots taken during the same evening from two different cameras.
Lots of orbs here. There had been many activities here, both when the mine was active, and from visitors since.
i needed to move it closer because this macro lens maxes out at f/5.6 and i needed more shallow dof to isolate the leg stepping forward and the hand with the orb in it. the lighting wasn't perfect either, i needed to bring the light closer to the dragon and use something to diffuse it more. image is also a bit underexposed for my liking.
Taken on Easter, 2007. My mother died July 15, 2006. I didn't go to her funeral. Now was the time for me to have closure. My daughter went with me to put flowers on her grave. On the way out of the cemetary, we stopped,got out of the Blazer and snapped this photo at random. There were many orbs and what appeared to be ribbon lights starting to come up from the grass. As you can see, we were facing west and the sun was setting. That particular orb in the sky was not the moon. When this photo is blown up, it appears there is a face in the orb. Freaky, isn't it?
