D90 Video: Female Yellow Garden Spider twirling prey!

[Markw]

Hi all,
Its been a while since Ive been around, but I was out a while back with my D90 and Sigma 105mm Macro lens. I found this huge spider on her 3.5' nest, and shot a few photos. I havent had the chance to go through them just yet, but I will do that shortly. Until then, here are some videos of her. Sorry about the terrible hand shaking. :blushing: Turn the speakers up!





Hope you enjoy!
Mark

I've never seen a spider like that, or a humming bird and to see them in your gardens I am jealous of.
