Spiders give me the creeps, but I just put on my 'big girl' face and had a look anyway. This is an outstanding capture Mark! I've never seen a spider 'spinning' it's web up close. This would also be a great entry if there is ever another "life and death" contest on the site.
Mark I love shots like these! Great capture! I got a similar photo with an Orb spider once. What a thrill that was, as it was for you, I assume! Thank you for the post! Love it! Allen
