I was fascinated watching this tiny orb-weaver constructing her web in the early morning light in my garden at Batemans Bay, New South Wales, Australia.

Round and round and round she went ….

Then sat in the middle awaiting the arrival of a meal ….

    That’s a helluva lotta work for a little bloke! Interesting shot, Trish. And now I suppose some bird’s gonna fly through the damn thing and bugger it all up. Actually, I always feel terribly guilty when I walk around the backyard waving a stick in front of me.

  • Thanks so much Gary ! It was fascinating watching her weave :) It seems we are not the only ones to protect our faces when walking along pathways. Those who build where I walk are relocated and those that don’t are left in peace :)

    Wow! Neat capture Trish – such a great macro of the web. I’m like Gary – wave a stick in front of me going down my passageway as I don’t like catching the web in my face
