I'm rather fond of this spider as she has a huge web attached to the lid of our 'black bin' (the general waste dustbin) and it is handily placed for catching the flies that emanate from within. I have perfected the art of opening and closing the bin lid without ruining the web - but alas tomorrow is bin night and she will have to start anew.
This is beautifully captured but still gives me the creeps - after so many years in this project and after viewing thousands of Jason's spiders I'm still no fan ;). But good thing she is doing you a service!

A really nice close up, great composition and detail. Many spiders build a new web everyday anyway so I wouldn't worry.

I kept the film on video ready for Imogen to watch when she's old enough. Terrific shot.

Charlottes Web....how many times have I read that book!! You will have to lift her out into a jam jar & put her back after the bin men have been. Will that be in a fortnight? We have grey bins one week & green bins the next.

Love the fact that you have given her a name
