Common garden spider in action...graphic warning

[hibbing]

I just lucked out, once again I wish I would have had a real camera. I thought this was pretty cool with the spider wrapping the beetle up for a snack? All of my flowers are covered in bees and I think soldier beetles.


I believe I can see the webbing being shot out.

1. As a kid it was great intertaiment

To toss carpenter ants into their webs and watch them attack and quarantine their next meal.

2. I just spotted one of these spiders in my garden.

I don’t think I’ve seen one since I was a kid. They make a zig-zag pattern in their web.

The black and yellow garden spider ranks as one of the most common garden spiders across the country.

Quite the coincidence. I also got a picture of one spitting silk out of the spineretts onto a bee. it was when I first started out in photography and was very excited to get an action pick.

If you get a more advanced camera, the best advise is to learn about shutter speed. Being able to set the shutter speed will enable you to capture an image in the blink of an eye. So, for example, set to 1600, the eye would blink in 1/1600 of a second.
