This small spider was in more or less constant motion, sometimes very abrupt, such as the lunge that produced breakfast. I'm not sure what breakfast was; he moved it about repeatedly during the time I followed the action.

Nicely artistic pictures! This is the orchard orb weaver, a lovely small spider that builds a semi-horizontal orb web in shady areas. Its not easy to photograph them while they sit in the center, so well done!
