Not the best pic, taken through double glassing hand held into bright sun. I just wanted to reveal the amazing colours in a spider's web. Let me know if you take a better one... By manually exposing for the thread, the background is under exposed to black.
The male, on top, did not have any success trying to mate with the female. This is Ammophila procera, one of the largest of the thread-waisted wasps in North America (about 2 inches, 48-50 mm).
This is the beginning of a new consciousness. It happened on February 2010, the thread comes from an interactive performance by Teatro de los Sentidos in Palermo. We are all threads.
I only have got what I have given.
found all of this in a sewing basking at the antique shop. Took a picture 'cause I'm facinated by how old it is!
The threads in this Zeus crank arm were in really bad shape, so I made a steel insert. Fortunately there were enough of the original threads left to allow me to get the crank arm clamped in my mill vise and preserve the alignment. The photo sequence skips over a couple of failed attempts where I tried to thread the ID of the insert before I put it in the crank arm, and the insert just broke. The final solution was is to cut the pedal threads after the insert was glued in place. Yeah, I know that you can buy kits to do this, but that's no fun.
Not sure which particular spider this is. What I could find out is that it belongs to the Araneidae family, which seems to be huge!
