photoartflightGolden Silk Orb-Weaver
I photographed this Golden Silk Orb-Weaver spider at J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, in Sanibel, Florida. I never saw a colorful spider like this one before. I was going to a lookout platform along the Wildlife Drive and along the boardwalk, which is very dark because of all the Mango trees covering the walk, I noticed this web. I went back to the car and switched to a shorter lens. But because of how dark it was under all the trees, I shot bursts hoping one would be sharp because of the slow shutter speed I had to use.

Wow, it is nearly every color of the rainbow!
Yes! It was very colorful! I was surprised to see it. The spider only stayed long enough to get a couple of images before it scurried off!
It is colourful, nicely captured!
Thanks Belinda! You never know what you might find to photograph!
WOW how colorful! Nice, Reed! (even though I am petrified with spiders!!!) 🙂
Thanks! It really stood out as I was walking by even though it is small!
