Dangerous Love - _TNY_7550

Two of the three walnut orb-weavers (Nuctenea umbratica) that were courting a large female just next to our mailbox outside the front door.

 

The one on the right arrived the night before and evidentely didn't meet her criteria and ended up as dinner which is why it's just a tangled mess on the right here.

 

The following morning showed no more spider suitor carcasses though so hopefully one of the other two scored.
