This magnificent spider set up her web outside the front window of Clunes Neighbourhood House early in 2011. There was some debate about her being allowed to stay, but the majority ruled and for several weeks staff and volunteers and visitors alike enjoyed watching her build her amazingly huge and complex web.
In the background of this shot is the historic old post office, one of the many historic buildings preserved in Clunes, which make up part of the town's wonderful character.
Missus Orb thrived and grew to an enormous size, catching and storing flies in a long string woven above her central position in the web. Suitors came and went - brave little souls only a fraction of her size.
Finally, a few weeks after taking this photo, I found Missus Orb still and dead in a bush below her web, after an intense hailstorm. I don't know if it was a hailstone or the cold which finally did her in. With a sense of loss I cleaned away the huge web, and wondered if next year one of her daughters might set up a home in the same spot. I hope so.
Captured in the front yard, in the orange/lime tree.
Some species from the Araneidae family (common orb weavers). Obviously male. I think the genus is Neoscona.
It took several shots to get this image of an orb weaver in the genus Larinia in south-central Ohio.

Adam was the only member actually lit on stage, so no shots of the others really turned out
I love this picture, it is so Munsters, lol! Again the picture looks so green! Very creepy, lol! and of course the orbs floating around to add to the spookiness! Again this was taken in Victoria Lawn Cemetery. This is the only "crypt" there, dug into a hillside.
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.
One of my first orbs, managed to hit a low branch but kept the tool spinning. The tree trunk is lit with one of the light wands, I had 4 on me!, (I keep making the things)!
Shot of a raver orbing at bassment saturday at Webster Hall, NY. Orbing is a popular activity among modern ravers and flow-lighting enthusiasts. Clubs often cater to a more underground scene. This is the Bassment
First trial shots of a Flame Orb. Quite happy with the results so far, but needs a bit of tweaking before I take them out into the country.

found some more faint orbs on the table . This table was only about a week old so had no marks or stains on so perhaps dust or something?
One of three different edits of the same image.
It was taken in the lobby of one of the financial buildings downtown. Really cool glass orbs just hanging from the celing on steel cables. Was fun to shoot as the receptionisist was watching me wondering what the hell I was doing lol.
So while taking random pics with my camera, which was brand new at the time, I found some orbs in the living room. But are they orbs, or dust, or just me doing something wrong?
