Photos are going behind the cut, of my little yurt friend, who I’m like, 90% sure is an Araneus diadematus spider. That wikipedia spiral has me reconsidering whether Dolores was really a neoscona crucifera, by the way; she might have been the other kind of “barn spider”, Araneus cavaticus, but I don’t know the difference, exactly?
Anyway. Under the cut, I’m going to give her a name after a blonde starlet but I haven’t decided which one, because she’s so yellow.
Photos of a spider to follow, cut for arachnophobes and people who just don’t like macro shots of spiders!
All photos, for the sorts of people who care about that, taken with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikkor 105mm f/2 AF macro lens, and some with the camera’s pop-up flash and others with a Promaster LED battery-operated dimmable lightboard thing that I got because the mount was broken/defective, so I just held it in my hand. They’re not all tack sharp but she wasn’t a very willing subject, so these are the ones that best show off her various assets. I’m sort of fond of the one where she’s folded up shyly peering at me; I’d startled her with the light, but it’s the only one where you can see her eyes clearly. And I know that’s only some of her eyes.
