This spider looks like it is suspended in space but if you look carefully you can see the web. It's lit from behind so you can see through it.

Early morning stack of a tiny orb weaver. It seems inactive but note how it's monitoring any "web activity" by keeping its highly sensitive feet on the silk.

Stacked from 42 natural light exposures in Zerene stacker.

This sucker is huge! She's pretty cool. As a nocturnal spider, she sets up her web every night in the same spot on my porch and tears it down at roughly the same time every morning. Rinse and repeat. She's probably doubled in size since June.

Spiny orbweaver spider (Gasteracantha cancriformis) is a species of spider with prominent spines on their abdomen.

Total length about 2 mm. It's only October 8 and I'm running low on spider photos. Often I can scramble to find some around, but this year there's not much going on. It was a dry winter last year and perhaps bug populations suffered. Or maybe I'm just making excuses for not catching all the spiders I could back in the spring and summer.

Critique and advice welcomed!

Sorry it took so long between posts! Haven't had much of a chance to go through photos recently.

Here is a profile shot of a huge golden orb-weaver spider in my garden. The webs are spectacularly strong. You can see the remains from plenty of prey that accumulates as the weeks go by.

This was taken on my 'broken' 500mm lens on F4, the only aperture I get right now...
