Orb takes lead late in the stretch and goes on to win the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby. Shot for Dan Dry (Churchill Downs).
A close up of an Orb Web Spider in my garden. These are pretty common in the gardens of the UK in September/October. Fattening up for the winter hibernation!
Sample of our organic insect control around the backyard. Just thought I would post a sample of the different orb weavers we have within 15 feet of each other.
I don't know much about arachnid ID-ing, so I'd really appreciate any ID help on this lovely orb weaver.
In July this beautiful spider became trapped between the glass and screen of a kichen window at my parents' house, and was still there by January the following year.
If you can cope looking at spiders I think this one is great on extra large as it looks like it is staring at me, with all its eyes It was on the ground when I spotted it. I ran for my camera as it worked its way up the Cabbage Palm, I was afraid I wouldn't see it again as it was so well camouflaged. I think it is an Orb spider and like looking at it so much you will have to let me be indulgent as Ive loaded 5 photos of it (nothing compared to how many I took).
The association for the conservation and appreciation of Historic Paris. This is the headquarters, it is a medieval townhouse that once belonged to a monestery - in Picardy I think. This was used when the Abbot visited the capital, it was also used by monastic students who studied theology at the university of Paris.
There has been much conservation work done, especially in the cellars. Quite a spooky place.
little orb weaver and his web set up amongst the papyrus in the fish barrel. his web is all wet, just like everything else down the east coast of australia at the moment.
A closer view of the orb weaver. Many consider spiders despicably ugly. Up close however, they can be beautiful, intriguing creatures. This species has 4 eyes on top, 2 on each side.

Ever wonder where the Orb spiders go during the day? Near one of their webs anchor points they have a nest; where they curl up and try to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible!
Cool glowy orb thing at the Science Centre. You know the kind of toy -- you brush your fingers across the glass surface, and streaks of...plasma?...follow them around.
Apparently there were warnings over the door, telling visitors not to go in with electronic equipment like digital cameras. Unfortunately I nipped in the back door and didn't see them. Everything still seems to work though. :)

In every photo i took of my dog theres some orb like presences! I'm sure they're just reflections; but the fact they're absent when my dog is was kinda wierd. Close up of the fence orb.
I could not resist a quick test of my new orb spinning tool. I had fun turning the dominant light from white to red, by adjusting the power settings on the torches. It's all so easy and the spinner works very well.
This is hanging itself out to dry, having recently shed its skin.
It's a young one. Body less than 1cm.
Found this Orb Weaver web that had an unusual stabilimentum. It was circular instead of the usual cross stitch pattern. Had an image with the spider in it, but the spider was out of focus.
