I have never seen one of those Orb Weavers. Are they a Texas specialty like Long Horn Cattle?
Nicely done. I like the Sundew best.

you probably have them,your just not paying attention
All nice shots. Number three looks like the coronavirus. Thanks.
Good ones and nice focus on the Sundew, and the spider too of course.
Very nice! Look great on download. The Tokina is a fine lens, and it demonstrates that you don't need a name brand lens to do well.
I recently discovered one location not too far from me that has sundews, and pitcher plants as well.
Long jawed orb weavers are common along water, and I've seen some dense populations. Their fangs and chelicerae (which carry the fangs) can be alarmingly long, but the spiders are completely harmless to us and will not bite. People just tooling around or fishing from small boats tend to really hate them, though, from when they happen to brush up against some branches along a shoreline and get a bunch of these dropping into their lap!
Another in your continuing series of great finds. The Long Jawed Weaver is a handsome specimen and I see that the Sundew has caught a meal from a curious victim. I also agree with Mark that Tokina is an example of a third party lens that is value-packed and one not need to always go with OEM glass to produce stellar results.
