This garden spider clinches a grasshopper that she caught in her web outside my kitchen window. I recently posted another garden spider that built a web outside the front door. I think this one chose the window, because insects are attracted to the light in our kitchen at night. Her web covers the entire exterior of the window. We just tell everybody that this is our "virtual" Halloween decoration! Anyway, we have enjoyed watching her patch and expand her web, although devouring other bugs is not especially appealing. (I took this photo through the kitchen window.)
Another fantastic shot of a spider. I do hope you were able to see the spider spin the grasshopper into it's holding web. I've seen this happen a couple times and it's an incredible site to see.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo, although I don't care too much for spiders, they do do their jobs. I love how you captured this shot and it's great to see the spider web.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I didn't get to see the spider spin the grasshopper into it's holding web, but I have watched it go after much smaller insects. After catching the grasshopper, she caught a fairly large moth. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteWow. I can't believe all those spiders you have over there!
ReplyDeletePretty colors. Never thought I would say something nice about a spider though. Good shot though.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot! And thru a window. Amazing. This spider has some incredible markings.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot! And great timing by the spider to help you decorate for this spooky month.
ReplyDeleteFantastic spider photo!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your camera didn't get kissed by that cow from a few days ago! Although it might have been an interesting photo just before the lens were to be drowned by an affectionate calf.
Thanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog.
Fantastic Halloween display - hope she sticks around until Oct 31!
ReplyDeleteImpressive macro and spider!!!
ReplyDeleteYou convinced me that I need to buy that new camera. I've got a picture of a spider I'm going to post tomorrow on Pixel Eyed (http://pixeleyed.blogspot.com) but it doesn't have near the detail as yours. Good shot.

ReplyDeleteI know spiders are beneficial, and in its own way this is beautiful, but still...eeech. Irregardless, nice pic.
ReplyDeleteLove this, terrific how you encourage the spider to co-exist.
