What a surprise. This is my first encounter with the orange spider - Larinia (Araneidae - orb weavers). This may be a him, but I'm not sure because I can't readily identify the palps. His / her web was in an area of tall grass. I returned later and her web was absent suggesting she is nocturnal. So I shall try early in the morning again.
Larinia and her web in the long tall grass
Funnel web spider, similar to a wolf spider, Hippasa holmerae (Lycosidae) and morning dew
Another view
And closer
Seems to be feeding herself dew
Plant hopper

Dew magnifiers
Another vew
Beads of glue - note that there are no glue drops on the radial strands
Another view
Another view of the glue drops and dew
And another view
and another view
I like this dew-drop lens
A wet web
ANother dw lens
And another
And another
And a closer view
This Argiope got spooked when I approached her web
And I waited and waited and waited. She refused to cooperate and return to her web - sigh
One last hope - nothing
