There's a reason these little guys are also called zig zag spiders ^^

This is based on the Arachne greek myth and how Athena had turned her into a spider to punish her for her hubris. Redoing a drawing I had done for class, from traditional to digital. The org was kinda iffy and sacrificed the coloring for use of certain materials.
blue: Aidos who was the goddess of shame, modesty, respect, and humility. red: Nemesis who was the Greek personification of retribution for the sin of hubris purple: Athena, goddess of wisdom and arts (especially weaving) spider: Arachne's form in the aftermath of her punishment

Close up of the beautiful Venusta Orchid Orbweaver (Leucauge venusta)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I finally was able to get a good shot of her without my camera unfocusing, and I am so grateful I could. The yellow and silver pattern on her abdomen is iridescent, which is amazing to see up close.
Its name comes from Charles Darwin himself, directly meaning “with a gleam” and “beautiful” respectively. There is also a slight chance this is an L. argyrobapta, as the females are near indistinguishable, but locally this type is more likely.
Orchid Spider colours can range drastically, and can even get them mistaken for a black widow. But, as almost always, these orbweaver spiders are non aggressive and are medicinally harmless.

My Nighttime Visitor is a Beautiful Spotted Orb Weaver
My Nighttime Visitor is a Beautiful Spotted Orb Weaver features photos of a female spotted orb weaver as she takes down her web in the morning. These nocturnal spiders make a new web every night and take it down each day.
Hanging by a Silken Thread Since I left my job, I have been letting myself go back to what is normal schedule for me. I’m a night owl, so that means I’m up half the night, but like to sleep in for much of the morning. Since I’m up late, I’ve been putting the dogs up late, too. For the past couple weeks when I’ve been outside late there has been a spider that has been spinning some gorgeous webs…

This Orb Weaver appeared to be wrapping up one of its own for consumption later. Underexposed by two stops of light to preserve details as much as possible.

A beautiful Jewel Spider (Austracantha minax). Endemic to Australia, and the sole species of the genus Austracantha.
These macros turned out surprisingly good, considering she was moving around so much. I like that you can see her feet hooked around the strands of silk as she's climbing.
Jewel Spider, female (Austracantha minax).
