I took a picture of some wolves,and when i saw the picture on my camera I noticed that i captured a huge orb!!!
Wierd 'Proof'. No orb even though its practically shot at the same angle; the only thing missing is the dog...
The original photo was taken as the sun was setting behind me, making Kings Tor look more like the African Savannah than Dartmoor
This is hanging itself out to dry, having recently shed its skin.
It's a young one. Body less than 1cm.
This one photographed against the blue sky

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.
I was pleased how this photo came out. I suspect Plebs ebernus. Found in Sassafras Gully, Springwood, Blue Mountains.
A Female Tropical Orb Weaver (Eriophora ravilla) on a Hibiscus. I took it in Ft. Lauderdale, FL with a Sanyo CG6.
After searching for other images I believe this is an Orb Spider (If someone realises this is wrong please tell me!). After an Elephant ride we were walking along a path and this beast caught my eye. Being someone who can't stand spiders I decided to zoom instead of get up close :)
Taken on a fairly old Sony Cybershot digital camera whilst in Koh Samui (Thailand) in December 2006. In order to improve the colour of the photo I made some saturation adjustments in Photoshop.
The Garden Orb Weavers build large, strong, vertical orb webs. Generally, the spider constructs its web in the evenings and takes it down again at dawn. The spider rests head-down in the centre of the web, waiting for prey.
These little guys are pretty easy to find if the web hasn't been destroyed , just follow the main string of web back to one of the two attached points, usually i find them at the higher side and they will be hiding withing a couple of cm's the web.
