St. Andrew's spider & Web.

In my Garden..Thanks to all for helping put my Orchid Spray on the PP yesterday.. CAN anyone tell me why the web is blue???Each shot had blue web instead of white...

[Babs]

Not sure, but I think it's because the web reflects ultra violet and that attracts insects. Aren't they clever spiders.

I also love St Andrews spiders, ever since I did an assignment on them at college many years ago. Maybe the blue is reflecting off something else?

[Valerie Chesney]

@beachdog Thanks Barb, could be reflection, I have tried 3 days & each shot the web is blue, I even tried my little 'point n shoot' camera & the same thing...

[MarkandLinda]

Wow, he's a great find! Wonderful capture!

[PhylM-S]

What a trip! Wonderful shot - fascinating web.
