'Nursery web spider' (Pisaura mirabilis), Darownik przedziwny...
Males of this species offer food gifts (wrapped insect) to potential female mates. Some Pisaura have also been observed to feign death, remaining still while holding the food gift in their mouths. When the female approaches and tries to take the food away, the male springs back to life and attempts to mate. This act of playing dead gives the males over

Found in my garden, on the Lily of the valley.
Another busy work day finds me stuck for inspiration, so I just searched the front of our house for a few subjects as I got out of the car. Here is one of the webs that have spring up in the ornamental bushes growing in our front garden.

Wet spider web on an early morning at the Torronsuo Swamp in Finland. Sunlight hits the water drops on the web.
Please view in the large size.
Image taken in the early morning when everything was coated in dew (including myself after a few minutes of wandering around). I am sure that this spider web would not be very effective until the dew evaporated!
Made for my 'day job' at the Race Track to be on oy the rotating ads on the main page of the site.

This greeted me in my frontyard one day. The spider had spun its web between a lamppost and a tree but had then disappeared. I hope it's not hidden somewhere waiting to pounce on me.
While poking around underneath a big flowering tree in Livorna Park searching for yellow flowers, I ran across this wonderfully constructed spider web. I was lucky that the low angle of the sun at golden hour caused the web to reflect nicely in the backlight. The bokeh consists of light pouring through gaps in the leaves of the tree as well as its yellow flowers reflecting.

From a Nursery Web Spider. The female will most likely be near ground level and will rush up to defend the nursery nest if trouble arrives.
