Are any two photos of the same specimen? I’m happy that you’re had fun on a spider safari! 🙂 I did that in South Carolina, the Carolinas are a spider jackpot. My pics of this species are below.

A cool thing about that region is that Orbweavers tend to be visible all of the time, not just at night. They’re in areas where there’s greenbrier and wherever you can smell deer. The edges of fields or other grass lots. It’s a fun… Read more »
Some of the photos are of the same specimen. It’s amazing in macro photography how a slight shift in angle of view completely changes the photograph.

TangledWeb, as far as I can remember Picture ID 197486, 197488, 197492, 197494, 197496, 197498, 197500,197510, and 197512 are the same specimen. This one was an easy target at about eye-level in good light each morning. 197454, 197464, 197472, 197624, and 197626 are also the same specimen, different to the first group. 197526, 197532, 197534, and 197536 are the same. 197466, 197468, and 197470 are the same. And 197688, and 197690 are the same. There are a few other specimens that I have photographed and posted here more than once, but my eyes are tired and tearing now, so I… Read more »
Picture ID 197518 is the same specimen as that in the largest group of photos that I first mentioned in my comment dated June 28, 20024 7:04 pm.
197456, 197460, and 197628 are the same specimen.
197676, 197678, and 197680 are the same.
197528 and 197558 are the same.
Mecynogea Lemniscata. Picture ID 197454, 464, 472, 474, 478, 480, 504, 508, 510, 512, 520, 522, 530, 540, 566, 568, 570, 624, 626, 632, 674, 684, 688, 690, 746, 801, 813, 817, 873, and I think 197514 are all the same specimen. I didn’t realize I had posted so many photos of the same specimen.
