This is the female Spotted Orb Weaver spider that I keep preserved in the freezer. I brought her out to see how she was holding up and while out I staged her for a focus stacking session.
This specimen was gifted to my by my son. I don't collect spiders although I do find them floating in the outdoor dog water bowl from time to time. The Spotted Orb Weaver is one of those that I enjoy watching for they build their web in the evening and take it down in the early morning when they find a place to hide until it is time to start all over again. Although they may look intimidating they are truly harmless and highly beneficial controlling flying pests.
Excellent. I like the arrangement.

Thanks, I added a bit of a vignette at the edges to draw the eye in toward the spiders eyes.
How would you like to wake up with that staring you in the face? Great image, sippy.
