Early on I saw this unknown something - but only had the time to catch one shot. I shall continue to look
Morning dew
Then there was this orange insect, a leafhopper - but there he / she was - sort of showing off different positions. This first shot was with morning dew
Another
From the back
From the side, a smile and both hind legs up
Hind legs moving down
Wings up
Legs up and wings down
Legs back up - long exposure so blurred
and a smile with leg fully vertical
Wings up
A morning glory
A slightly blurred fly
From the front
and from behind
Then I found a large Nephila maculata and the best example of glue on the circumferential strands and no glue on the radial strands
With a couple of infants (I think - 2013: Wrong think, these are Argyrodes flavescens) - the small small red spiders
Another view of the relative sizes
This is the best shot I have made of the silk, extruded from her spinneret and used to attach herself to her web
From the side
Well I thought this was a male - but the black legs don't fit so I think these must be infant females. Wrong again - these are invaders - Argyrodes
slightly unfocused
improved
a bit better focus
From the side
and with the sky as the background
An interesting view with the Argyrodes to the right
An unknown
a different view
