Golden Silk Orbweaver

Golden Orbweaver

 About the size of your open palm.
Ooooo so cool and so creepy. Also known as a 'Banana Spider'.




When I setup to take this shot, the spider was in the middle of it's web which spanned a circle roughly 10 feet across. The wind was warping the whole web like a trampoline. I stopped down to get a better depth of field and waited for a still moment. As I snapped the shutter, the wind blew again leaving me with a single line of narrow focus.
