Black and Yellow Garden Spider, Over Time

I first saw this Black and Yellow Garden Spider on August 16th. I actually noticed the zig-zag stabilimentum first.

His web was hanging out over a pond, suspended between some shrubs and grass.

I passed the same spot about 45 minutes after the first image; it had clouded over changing the look of the water but the spider hadn’t moved.

On September 6th the spider in the same spot, and this time with a dragonfly for lunch.

The last time I visited this location, September 13, the spider was still there. His web was showing some signs of wear, and he had something wrapped up in a sack.

  1. Hans – Sverige – The blog is an attempt to give you all a piece of life in the outdoors. The richnes of life that is interwoven in an unbelievable pattern. Where we as humans are just one of the species in the crowd. A humble approach to nature should be our starting point.

    1. Thanks, Paz! It was kind of cool to find an insect in the same spot over a whole month. I was back there this past Sunday and saw only a shred of the web, no spider in sight.
