Circle B Bar 2022_08_23--4994.jpg

This spider is also called a Zig Zag Spider, amongst other names. I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. Not sure why but they show up in August, webs everywhere, sometimes hanging above or across the trails. Not good for someone like me who has a spider phobia. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Joe it looks great, you have shown the spider and it's web to good effect. I wish I knew more - why for example is there those areas of denser silk, are they responsible for communication? Lovely colours, well detailed - yup it gets my vote.
