These guys are night hunters. They sit in their web as the night comes on and wait for insects to get entangled. This was at the Interpretive Centre of the Fletcher Wildlife Garden. There were about 7 spiders, all close together, but this was by far the biggest. As I watched, a small moth had the misfortune to fly into the web and she was on it in an instant. I took this shot about midnight. The next morning I went back and not a spider could be found! They were waiting for the nighttime.
