Back when I was a kid, I used to find these things in my grandmothers garden. I HATED these things and still do, though now later on in life, I will go as far as to say that they are a bit beautiful in their markings and sometimes web design

See...

Spiders were on the "web" before we were

Okay...enough of trying to be funny

That is a dang sharp photo of the thing, Jim. Great work!

I always seem to find them right in front of me when you are looking into the high weeds for something to shoot. They like to make their weds knee to chest high in the underbrush
