I think this is a hoverfly - a very patient and polite hoverfly
He / she raised his/her two hind legs - I guess showing off
Here are two of those interesting orange spiders. I continue to think that they are infant Nephila but still not certain
And then there were three
Here she is weaving her web. You can see golden silk being extruded from her spinneret
A closer view
And she appears to be harvesting dew - time for a morning water break?
Now she is drawing the droplet toward her - It is composed of harvesting many smaller droplets as seen to the left
And she draws it closer to herself. Note that there is a thin strand of silk projecting from her spinneret, and her right back leg is holding it (and also she is missing the leg before her right back leg
She is actually an acrobat in disguise
Another view of the silk strand from her spinneret - now held by her left back leg
A side view. This is the first time I have observed this behavior - holding on to a silk fiber extruded from her spinneret
Here she is harvesting more dew drops
From a nearby web - a mature Nephila maculata
From the side, the golden color of her silk is obvious
Then in flew dinner. You can see a golden silk thread projecting from her spinneret
And this little guy hung around long enough for me to get my tripod organized
A closer view
Preparing to take off
And flaps up
and down
