So I didn't realize that some jumping spiders actually build themselves a web. I'm not sure what the purpose of this little spider's web is - whether it is for trapping food, or just protection overnight, or for laying eggs. But I sat and watched this little spider spin this web for about fifteen minutes the one evening (and then I forgot this photo was still sitting on the card)

Technical Data: Canon EOS 7D, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, 1/250 sec at f/16. Canon Speedlight 580EX II flash in auto mode and wireless control. Image Stabilization on. ISO 160. RAW processing in Adobe Camera Raw.

Sorry I have been lazy with posting recently... just been having a hard time keeping myself motivated, and I've been trying to get outside every once in a while and enjoy the weather and get some exercise. I don't know if I'll pick up with regular posts again any time soon or not, so I'm not going to make any promises.

Thanks for stopping by.
