So here she is. I have called her Charlotte as I cannot think of any other name associated with webs - apart from Tim Berners-Lee...
This little beasty is about as big as a bonker marble... 2cm across the body. Not HUGE, but still pretty scary to have pop in your face when walking outside at night with a torch. In the photo I have scared here to the top of her web, and she is madly spinning herself more web to hang onto and get away from this mad chnuk of glass and plastic that keeps flashing bright light in her (many) eyes. I like this pic beacuse yu have see her using one of her little leggies to place the web, whilst using the rest of them to hang on. Such amazing stuff these little critters do at night, and we bulldoze through it all each morning, screaming like little whimps in the process...
This was taken with a 60D, 35mm F/6.3, handheld 580EXII in a ring-flash adapter, using ETTL remote. Liveview to focus, but it was all done standing on tippy toes and balancing with the camera at arms length, so I am impressed anything is in focus at all.
Oink Oink.
