My Darling Spider

Folks,

After months of search for a spider, it ended up with this specimen. Orb Weaver ??

After this again I would like to assure myself that the best place to find insects is where butterflies are in plenty. This was a slightly upward looking shot, as this one was high up in the plants. The largest Ive seen of the species. A very awkward angle and no place to place the tripod. I had

7D, 70-200 F4l 12mm Extn, and cropped a little for comp. I could not get at the same angle as the web. Anyways I loved the backlight.

Thanks NPN for your support
