This little guy did a dance and plucked the web of the giant female for several nights I actually watched them mate so fast I near missed it. I thought he was gonna be lunch . LMAO kinda sound weird but it was cool in a weird way lol

None have been cropped or altered. shot with the tamron 18/270 lens and a t4i I used several different lights or flashes and lights. They are extreamley light shy. Kellyw

badly in need of better lighting.. diffused flash works very well for macro.

CGipson I may have said it before but it bears repeating: That is a terrific shot of an orb weaver!
