An Argiope spider in a wild indigo bush:

That it's lunch wrapped up, probably one of the butterflies I was chasing.

It never ceases to amaze me how you can get a shot of a Spider and prey to look so artistic Tom - but you do!! Wonderful image with perfect DOF and exquisite detail. Awesome!!

Really love the different look that this one has to it and its composition. Nice!!

I don't know that much really about the different spiders, etc., and this Argiope looks a little lighter in its coloring than the ones that I have seen down here in South Carolina.

Again, ............. nice one Tom!!
