A delayed appearance by the signature spiders this year. Usually they would be around by November. Or may be I did not look for them at the right places. Thats about the max dew drops we have got till date this winter and its close to max, and the weather would start getting warmer in a week or so.

Thats a rolled up painted grass hopper on the table.

7D, 70 200 Extn.

Thanks NPN for your support

Better late than never, Balan. Excellent photo of the spider preparing its next meal. YI like the way your photo displays the colorful and intricate markings of this spider so well.

Nicely captured, Balan ( if a bit gruesome !!! ). The colours of the spider are set off perfectly by the light grey/white bg.

The detail in the spider and her web are great, Balan. The spider's markings are very attractive.
