A Spider And His Web (Macro)

The spider (view large size and you can see its legs folded beside its body)

Apparently the bulls-eye target or simulated flower of a spider web... This elaborate web design (in the center of a larger web) was about one inch (2.5 cm) in diameter (the size of a quarter) and very iridescent. The spider, a Featherlegged Orbweaver (Uloborus glomosus) with it's legs drawn to it's side, is in the center (but on the back side) of the design....(View large size)...

That's a gorgeous design but the thing inside with the fangs (whatever it is) is scary! Love the lighting on this and the bokeh too. Well done!

Thanks all for the visits and faves and comments... Thank you Jeanie and crazeeloki for the nice invites... Don't know for sure what we have Mandy, best I can tell it's some type of orb weaver (usually a long-legged narrow-bodied spider).
