    Nephila Spider

    Phil mentioned using his close-up lens to photograph one of these the other day and it reminded me I hadn't tried to get a shot of the one the that has built its web on a corner of my house.

    It spooked my 5 year old grandson when he found it and I've been trying to get them more accustomed to spiders.

    Hand-held with the web moving about in the wind. I didn't have the depth of field to get the head in focus.

    Golden Orb-weaver, probably Triconephila plumipes.

    Nikon D850 and Sigma 150mm f/2.8 macro

      Yes, I meant to include the names. Probably Triconephila plumipes.

    G'day Alan

    Not going to get into a debate as to its botanic name .... Nephila will do me
    As to your pic-- yes the breeze and slight movement does play havoc with all spider-in-the-web pics
