13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Orchard orbweaver and web (Leucauge venusta)
The photo was taken in my front yard and shows a orchard orbweaver spider and his/her web. The web was spun less than 24 hours after an afternoon rain storm, and measured about 2 feet in diameter. The spider (excluding its legs) is only about one half inch long, perhaps less.
