Long-jawed #orbweaver - Tetragnatha sp.
(Shot near Cincinnati 4-3-26) 🕷️🕸️ #photography #macrophotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature #animal #invertebrate #arachnid #spider #bug #ento #spidersky
Visited the spot again today.
I wanted to get a better look at the assumed mate. Now I can confirm: It is a male of the species (Agalenatea redii).
He sits in the same spot, while she has moved to a different branch on the same plant.

Trichonephila edulis - the Australian Golden Orbweaver
Came across this beautiful Golden Orbweaver on a bushwalk recently. Her leg span was around 11-12cm; luckily, she'd made her web high above the path!

Not a fallen leaf… but an Eriovixia orb-weaver in disguise 🍂🕷️ Fun fact: Spiders in the genus Eriovixia mimic dried leaves so well that predators often overlook them completely. #Veinbug #Eriovixia #OrbWeaver #LeafMimic #MacroWorld

Spotted orb-weaver (Neoscona crucifera) centered in her freshly spun web — radial lines under tension, spiral threads catching porch-light insects.

Orb Weaver on the porch. She's been here for years, part of the family. She moved her web out of the door frame. She's natural pest control. #orbweaver #spider #spidersky
The Night Weaver, wishes you all a most blessed and safe #Valentines #FridayThe13th and hopes you all have the most delightfully #spooky romantic adventures. 😁

A female orb weaver spider, also called a European garden spider, basks in the glow of the morning sun. It repairs its web after freeing some debris. Haiku titled Web Weaving Spider" by Peter S. Quinn included Web weaving spider Playful in the summer sun Lightly and tightly

A full body scene. Calla, a shrunken human woman sits on the ground, eyes wide and looking up at the reddish-orange orbweaver spider standing over her. Calla is a plus-size black woman with dark brown skin and long 3C/4A hair with bangs. She wears a yellow regency style dress, and brown shoes. She has brown eyes. Standing over her, the orbweaver spider is huge in comparison. He stands braced for attack, as if shielding her from something. He has numerous large sensory hairs covering his pedipalps and abdomen. His abdomen is covered in an intricate cross-like pattern, similar to a european garden spider. His chelicerae/fangs are dark red.

Arachnus has a special ability, a glamour which allows him to transform into a full-on spider. Usually to conceal his true self from humans, he will also utilize it to protect his loved ones.

Still one of my favourite pictures of an orb-weaver (Larinioides sp.) that just wanted to stay in our apartment to keep warm.

Three-in-one pictures of Larinioides sclopetarius, an orb-weaving spider. Each picture shows a slightly different angle of the animal.
Look who I found crawling about:
Larinioides sclopetarius. A truly wonderful orb-weaving spider.

Suspended between hunger and patience.
The web listens. The spider decides.
Fun fact: Orb-weavers don’t rely on sight alone. They read the web’s vibrations like a map of invisible messages.

Breaking away from jellies to share a lovely yellow garden spider! I enjoy how she was positioned on her web almost like she's skiing. They're such cool beasties!

A big-eyed thick-jawed orb weaver spider crawling down a rock wall. It is black It is viewed from the side. It is mostly black but with an orange stripe on the top of its abdomen (barely visible in the photo), and three white spots on its side. The legs are also orange.
