We Have a Positive ID on This One
But, it wasn't easy, as fast as that little sucker moves.
The use of three different cameras and lenses, was what it took to nail the critter.
The spider web, gives some clues.
Knowing if a spider weaves its web in a circle or, tent-like helps with the idenification.
The colors and markings are important, too.
When the light started fading and, wind blowing, I couldn't get a sharp photo.
Moving around to a different location, helped somewhat.
But, the image could be a lot more detailed, if I was using faster glass.
So, this spider got me thinking. Maybe, I better invest in a good macro lens.
The missus doesn't really need to know.
Just in case I get caught, taking a wad of cash out of the bank, I have a plan.
Gasteracantha brevispina
Something like that, I'll yell.
That's the name of the spider that caused me to do it !
She'll understand.
I hope
