Breakfast anyone?

This spider was busy early this morning and had just caught a paspalum fly (hope it wasn't the pretty one I photographed yesterday!) He was busy wrapping it up ready to eat later I suppose. I looked through my spider book, but cannot identify which one it is - maybe someone else can recognise it? I am guessing it is an orb web of some sort...

Not familiar with NZ spiders but it does look like our Garden Orbs. Great macro shot :-)

Wow - it's amazing how a photograph can even make the looking feel too close for comfort! Well done!!!!

Great shot and suitably scary - especially after just seeing Part 2 of the Hobbit trilogy with its giant spiders!

You even have a spider book? What a capable creature, He is fighting with something way bigger than himself.

Nice detail on the spider!

Great closeup work here - it is especially rewarding when you manage to snap a critter doing what critters do. Sorry can't help with the identity.
