About did you miss her??? :-D
hahaha...well again that spider, I must say that I'm happy to find her name, it's an Argiope Lobata, first discover at Maroc, now it's not a spider that you can find easily...not many of them EVEN at Europe...it's funny how it found to my place...anyway, it's body at 6cm, not attacking - agresive type BUT it's a little bit poisent and not good to take a walk on you... same damage on a human like a bee...
here a ....more close up on her ........lovely details! :-D
cool....isn't she? hahaha
thanks for watching...if you can anyway! :-D

thanks a lot Tom, simple...at the top she shining a lot and she has lot of white tones, so she try to cover herself using her bottom side that has similar colors with the area there...believe me, I was very lucky to see her...even she is enouph big! She was on her net...even after fall down (from my flash...hehehe...she must be pretty mad with me...) she try to have her bottom area at the top to cover herself with the same colors with the brown grass...

What a creepy macro. I don"t like spiders, because of my ARACHNAPHOBIA. A great macro with excellent deatails.

Lovely symmetry and great detail - Great macro John. By the way - these spiders are fairly common in South Africaand are known as Garden Orb Web Spiders, their venom is harmless to humans though! You can handle them without fear! Regards.

Excellent macro of this rare spider here ...but sheesh it would scare me for sure ...You must be using your very good macro lens..the detail is perfect and I do like the crop - it makes her more spooky somehow --Yikes poisonous too !!
Cheers John,
