loving the colours of my washing on the line in the bokeh behind this spider

We finally had our water supply restored this evening, 4 days after Storm Ophelia hit us. Still no landline phone but we can cope with that. I have family visiting over the weekend & there is another storm due too so apologies in advance for my hit & miss comments HA19 & HBBBT!

The spider species Argiope aurantia is commonly known as the yellow garden spider, black and yellow garden spider, golden garden spider,writing spider, corn spider, or McKinley spider. It is common to the contiguous United States, Hawaii, southern Canada, Mexico, and Central America. It has distinctive yellow and black markings on the abdomen and a mostly white cephalothorax. Its scientific Latin name translates to "gilded silver-face" (the genus name Argiope meaning "silver-face", while the specific epithet aurantia means "gilded"). Males range from 5–9 mm (0.20–0.35 in); females range from 19–28 mm (0.75–1.10 in). These spiders may bite if disturbed or harassed, but the venom is seemingly harmless to humans.

unknown spider

The Thomisidae, or Crab spiders, are the masters of ambush and disguise. Some species can change their color to blend in with the flowers they are sitting on. This large family includes 38 genera in South Africa alone and occurs on all continents except Antarctica. The body on this one is about 4mm across and the legs 10mm long.

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 several spiders we saw on Skyline Drive the other day. The misty fog was rolling up over the ridge (which was very cool to watch) and while it wasn't raining actually all the webs were standing out due to the water droplets. I believe this is an Orb Weaver spider but not sure which one. I tried a quick Google Image search, but honestly by the time I was half through looking at a page of spiders, I was thoroughly creeped out and could imagine them crawling on me. Spiders are interesting and some quite beautiful, as long as they are Outside in Their environment and stay out of My environment! LOL Happy Sabbath and a great weekend everyone! :)

European Garden spiders (Araneus diadematus) getting a bit too close for comfort. In the next few minutes the spider on the right ran to the other and kicked her out of the web.

I was walking through Mark Burnham Park early Tuesday evening and the sun was catching a network of small branches just the right way to create the illusion of a massive diagonal spider web through the trees. I have the benefit of having been there, and know what I should see, so hopefully you can also see the illusion in this shot. Wishing you all a gorgeous green Thursday!

Flower Spider

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

♂︎ Zebra Jumping Spider (Salticus scenicus)

Itsy-Bitsy the Zebra Jumping Spider in a space of his own. I spied this little beauty on an outside windowsill to our garden.

Note the rather impressive fangs of the male of the species.

Thanks for looking!

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.

I started out with one plant and now have 10. After flowering the plants slowly deteriorate and go dormant.

I bought this the other day, and will soon plant it in a pot outside. It's seen here on my kitchen counter, in a 55-frame focus stack. I blended the images with Helicon Focus.
