Spider Catches Fly

Mein Haus -Germany

Couldn't believe it when the spider started wrapping this fly in its silk---While I was watching! Reminded me of the Hobbit movie! I tried to photograph this spider for two or three weeks. I named him sunny due to his colors. He spun a web outside my back window and I had to shoot through glass. This was one of the better efforts. I will be posting most of sunny's pictures over the next week or so. Any ideas how I could combat lighting, glass glare, etc? I used close up filters that screw onto the lense?
