20110917 - 1 081 SERIES - Orb Weaver Spider - (Black and Yellow Argiope).jpg

My Backyard

Three views of the hard at work Orb-weaver Spider repairing its web that I had inadvertently damaged. I think this multi-limbed, ambidextrous spider would make a good linesman for any Hydro Utility company. In the second and third images, note again the new line spooling from its spinnerets at the lower mid-part of its abdomen.
