20110917 - 1 104 Orb Weaver Spider - Black and Yellow Argiope.jpg

My Backyard

Over the next few days, I'll be posting images of an Orb-weaving Spider repairing its web. I had inadvertently damaged one side of its web as I was working in my garden. The web was suspended between our shed and some tall flowers. Immediately after I had broken a couple of the web strands, the Spider rappelled down to the damaged area and started the repairs.
