Diadematus Araneus

I don’t particularly like spiders, but as a photo opportunity they are pretty good. This one was on a cosmos plant & was very still, so I did shake the plant a little to get him moving. Not wanting to get too close, I used my telephoto lens as a “macro lens” & used manual focus. Worked fairly well I think.

I think the Orb Weavers are some of the more interesting ones to photograph. It's really the only time I pay attention to spiders. (o; Great close-up.
