Description
I captured this nasty looking fellow and his web in the Kruger National Park in South Africa a couple of years ago. The image was scanned from color print! I'm not sure what kind of spider this is, but I do believe that it isn't poisonous. It was early morning and I just loved how the sun painted golden threads on the web.
Thank you for visiting my gallery and for any comments you wish to leave. Thank you also dear friends for your continued support.
Hugs, Carin xx

Scary for us arachnaphobics, but great work.
great capture...
The light on this web is really good. Oh, and all spiders are poisonous, it's just a matter of how it affects us. These ones are very widespread as their babies travel the winds on fine threads of silk and have been found frozen in the upper atmosphere. We either have the same ones or very similar ones in Australia and they get quite big.
Very well captured and a fresh angle on the spider usually sitting (hanging?) upside down. It's the golden orb web spider and quite harmless.
Wow, that is a great shot! Amazing clairity even from a scanned photo. I would be surprised if something this colorful was not poisonous. Many times nature seems to mark the poisonous things with bright colors. Sometimes though mother nature just colors something brightly to scare off preditors because they will think it to be dangerous. Either way... I would not want it crawling around in my bed at night!
wowwwwwww... beautiful shot and angle :)
