Looks to be some type of orb weaver.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

That has to be one of the scariest spiders I have seen. Second thing I noticed was how patched up his web is, he looks like he has eaten his fair share of bugs. Nearly 1/2 of his web looks like it has been repaired.

You can imagine how I felt when I was shooting it...it was facing straight ahead and as I shot it RAISED itself to bare its underside...yikes!

I have to say this guy makes the case for a macro with a focal length longer than 50-60mm for some kinds of shots...I shot this at the long end of the 28-135 where there's less depth of field...I had to go to about 1/80th sec to get F10 or so...thank goodness for IS!!

Just stare 'em down!....if you can find their eyes....
Well truth be told...I just look for different angles...from under, from above, from straight on....
And by letting the rear legs go out of focus I get a bit of 3-d
