For about two weeks this female Crab has been spinning webs and on the second notice in the day time I spied where she slept during the day. I wanted to take a shot but a sleeping crab is just not that interesting.....
However night after night she spins and I tried to get her, but to no avail as I needed a spotter with a flashlight so I could get a focus.
Tonight, I managed to get my wife to stand close enough with a flashlight in hand to get these two shots as she spun her web of love., so give her a round of applause....the wife I mean....

Crab or orb weaver? At any rate it is a great shot. I really like the lighting.

Great Job. I had to go back and read how you did the lighting. Very cool.
