Aranaeus diadematus
I just love watching the garden spider build her web and then come back later to see it full of lunch for her!
I seemed to have developed a love part of
my hate relationship with spiders.
This particular garden spider has facinated me
with her web making skills and I have taken
endless photos of her just as long as she
stays still in her web! September 2011
Is there something you can tolerate from behind your lens that you would otherwise stay far away from?
Great question! Mmm, I’m not sure..weeds, maybe?
Aww, have you NO compassion for the helpless and hapless ‘lunch’?! 🙂
Snakes, insects, and maybe spiders. I recently took some flower photos where there were lots of bees. My friend who is terrified of bees couldn’t believe I would be close enough to photograph them. I guess “close” is a relative term. I’ve never quite overcome my dislike of spiders, though.
