Tynemouth Beach, earlier this year during a visit by the Mighty Mr D. Whitaker, who is just out of shot, obviously the orb is inquisitive as to who this fella is, and why he's jumping about at low tide burning steelwool and waving lights.
last night our lady of the moult received a visitor. the whole episode took place on two or three threads of web..he arrived from a nearbye tree and retreated to it when he felt his mission was accomplished.. she quickly moved to a wrapped moth that she had stored and had a light supper...the photos are in reverse order as flickr loads by time taken
Common Orb Weaver Spider repairing its web.
Species: Araneus quadratus.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
A different perspective. It seems as if the spider has placed markers on the web to prevent things from accidently running through it and tearing it down. With all that amazingly complicated work, who could blame it.

These beautiful glass orbs were floating throughout the reflection pools. Photographed at the Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina, USA.
Photo taken under my back steps, noticed the jewelled web when hosing the plants. Also known as "St Andrews Cross spider"
Whilst I am not able to positively identify this chap, I am convinced he is an old weaving spider.
A Queenland Museum 2008 publication says there are 60 species of Orb Weaving Spiders in the Greater Brisbane area and most are yet to be identified - so no wonder I have having difficulty.
Cropped.
...and one more Orb for good measure.
Last time I am going up on that roof in a force 4!

I just love the orbs of light that these raindrops become on an overcast day. It's all about the light.

In case any body was wandering, the last few post were dew drops on the fuzzy floaty thing on top of 1 thistle seed...
Unfortunately, the only view I had was the underside (ventral) view. However, I think this is the Cross Orb Weaver so named because of the cross mark on the abdomen.
orbing about on the beach at Cullercoats, it wasn't until i got home i realised i had caught an inbound flight light trail
Orb weaver spinning a web. I watch this spider put out a web each evening as the sun goes down and then take it down in the morning.

Orb Spider Symmetry
I took a macro walk around Piney Lakes last night, came across a few interesting species that I will be posting pics of, Orb spiders are always so cool to see, & make such huge webs...spotted this one early on and then checked in on the way back to the car, and it was done building and lying in wait...
A gorgeous orb weaver spider (iNat suggests Alpaida sp.) in Brazil. Seen resting on a leaf during the day in fairly thick brush, waiting for dusk to begin building a web. A cool little detail is the pair of small spines, one on either side of the thick part of the abdomen. There is also a sparse scaffolding of silk on the leaf, probably to help the spider hold on.
Here's a nice example of a Golden Silk Orb-weaver, or a "Banana Spider."
We saw tons of these at JN "Ding" Darling NWR (Sanibel Island, FL), but thankfully they mainly build their webs high enough that I didn't walk right into any.
I believe this tiny spider is a mature male Hypsosinga sp., but I hope someone can confirm that. Observed at a bioblitz in Corral Bluffs Open Space on the high plains just east of Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. June 8, 2019.
