Death from Above, Pt. 2 - _TNY_1840
This female European garden spider (Araneus diadematus), with a bit darker colour than typical has built here web on a large mallow in our garden.
Typically she hides above the web underneath a leaf and would be invisible if you don’t notice the web, but by poking her a little I got her to change position (and side of the web) to be out in the open.
Then I got on my back on the lawn under the plant and shot upwards which turned out nicely.
Part 1 - which is one of my favorite spider shots I've taken can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/48734496742/
