That's a beautiful orb weaver. I've never seen one with masses of hair at the leg joints before. The reaction from here is by no means "Yuck."

I wonder what was bad enough to get one of her legs?

What I had 10 years ago (All gone, don't ask.):
70D, 100L macro, Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD, Magic Lantern, 600ex-rt, FotoPro Mini5, Macbook Pro 15" i7.
What I am looking at now:
I am going to start with the 24-70 2.8 glass. Some R body to pair it with.

Odd how we humans are often afraid of one thing but not another. Spiders don't bother me at all but snakes give me the heebie jeebies.

These remind me of gladiators. They're rather common now here in south Alabama but only appeared here within the last 10 years or so. I'm not to sure but what they're displacing the common garden spiders. They're known around here as golden web weavers and banana spiders. The web they spin is a TOUGH web with a strong golden tint to it. Their webs has been known to capture small birds!
