Special Orbs
View allAll Photos Tagged orb
This spider can be seen from July to October in any structure where it can build a web.
They mostly eat small insects and flies.
They get their name from the orb shape of their web.
Still swaying on the cobweb, after a pause in the wind. A very cropped image.
Thanks for your visit and comment, muchly appreciated! 🙋♀️

The hunting technique varies depending on the spider and its prey. Sometimes the spider waits in the center of the web, sometimes it sits at the edge of its burrow, with one or two legs attached to the silken thread. Once prey gets caught in the web and causes sufficient vibrations, the spider rushes towards it. Sometimes the spider goes straight for it, or shakes the web back and forth several times, often further entangling the prey, allowing it to be precisely located and identified. If prey doesn't move, the spider may lose interest; dead prey is generally ignored by spiders.
Small prey is immediately seized and often devoured straight away.
Slightly larger prey is grabbed and quickly spun; by rolling the prey in the web, a package is created that hangs from both ends of the web.
Even larger or more dangerous-looking prey is approached cautiously; the spider will first attempt to cover the prey with sticky threads from a distance using its hind legs. If the prey appears too dangerous, the spider will "free" it by biting through the threads.
The prey is eaten either on the spot, in the center of the web, or in the burrow, leaving a hole in the web. Orb-weavers "chew" their food, unlike most other spiders that suck their prey dry.
Some orb-weaver spiders that can be found in the Netherlands and Belgium: cross spider , wasp spider (or tiger spider), and the four-spot orb-weaver spider .
The year's first Spider photo. Sorry about the dust spots--what I call the "Macro Menace." Clean as much as I like, the dust always comes right back. Off to finish up house then lawn work.
Thanks for Viewing.

The Separation of Darkness and Light' was created from a macro photograph of an iris. It is a part of a series called Orbs.
Verrucosa arenata. With some kind of prey. Like many other orb weavers, these tiny spiders build very large round webs, commonly in trees. Seen in the park this morning.

Nefekalum's fab new materials tattoo, Medusa's Gaze, reminded me a lot of the Japanese art of Kintsuku - especially with the gold in the gaps of the cracks. I added cinphul's carnal headpiece [I turned it upside down for a different look] and completed the entire outfit with various pieces for that otherworldly Mage look. Yes, the diet is going well...
