Nice image.
But I have never understood Haiku. I would have said something about "eight legs". The "construction revolutions" is where I get lost.

But I have never understood Haiku. I would have said something about "eight legs". The "construction revolutions" is where I get lost. I purposly restrict myself to a 5=7=5 haiku format, i.e. a three line poem with five syllables in the first, 7 in the second and five in the third. Rhyming is not required.
In this haiku, "construction revolutions” refers to the fact that as the spider constructs a web, it often does a number of 360 degree revolutions . Here is this haiku using "eight legs” as the 7 syllable line:
spherical body
eight legs twirl in unison

Very sharp. I can clearly see the "hair" on its legs.

Awesome shot!
I had one living behind the door frame on my back porch for a year. She came out when it got dark to weave her web. I think some electricians who did some work on my breaker box killed her. I really hated that. Charlotte was a beauty.

Did they ever find the bodies of the electricians?

Recently observed that an orb weaver takes down their web in the morning and reweaves it at sundown. They leave a single strand in the morning and use it to start weaving the web at night.
