This is a Banana Spider but I call him "Poodle Spider" because of the poodle like tufts of hair on his legs!

彼が動かないでくれたから撮ることができました。ぴょん、と飛んだら、きゃー！！

レンズを通すと大概の虫は怖いもの知らずです。

Have a wonderful day !

Nature's insect control. Some may find them creepy, but I think they are pretty neat. This is a Golden silk orb-weaver. You can see the "gold" in her web.

Quite the stabilimentum here...

"A stabilimentum (plural: stabilimenta), also known as a web decoration, is a conspicuous silk structure included in the webs of some species of orb-web spider. Its function is a subject of debate...There is much controversy surrounding the function of these structures, and it is likely that different species use them for different purposes....It has been suggested that stabilimenta could provide protection to the spider by either camouflaging it (by breaking up its outline), or making it appear larger (by extending its outline)...make the web visible and therefore animals such as birds are less likely to damage the spider's web...The other dominating hypothesis is that web decorations attract prey by reflecting ultraviolet light...."

Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.

Western spotted orbweaver, I think...

Though I don't have a large variety of spiders this year, I do have a few of the ones I did get.

Thanks for Viewing.

One of the prettiest spiders--at least in this area. I'll have a similar one to this to post in October for the Arachtober group.

I go back to work tomorrow. Three weeks of teacher meetings and prep, then the students return Sept. 8 for face to face instruction, although on a staggered schedule. I am not quite looking forward to that. Don't get me wrong--I love and miss my kids, but I do want a safe working environment, and I do not think we're safe at all yet.

Thanks for Viewing.

Flower Spider

Not only were the Jumping Spiders out and about the other day, there were a few Flower Spiders also.

Female zebra spiders are 5-9 mm long and males are 5-6 mm

(Salticus scenicus) is a common jumping spider. Like other jumping spiders, it does not build a web. It uses its four pairs of large eyes to locate prey and it’s jumping ability to pounce and capture it. Zebra spiders are often noted for their awareness of humans. Upon noticing someone observing them, they can be seen raising their head, and usually change behavior (hence the name Salticus scenicus, theatrical jumper).

Thanks for looking.

a quick shot with the canon 50mm 1.8 in the sunny afternoon.

here in germany the autumn is comming in short steps and the spiders do their jobs :-)

This little chap has appeared on Flickr recently. He seems to live in my Land Rover and most nights he emerges to repair or rebuild the web he has built between the drivers quarter light window and our porch. The bright central orb behind the spider is an out of focus street lamp.
