I've seen them here in Texas, too, but they're not as common as in Guatemala. -- Victor

Rod: Thanks, I had the luxury of having the spider in my garden in such a position that I could setup my tripod. But the Sun was high in the sky, hence the blown highlight. It didn't help that the spider was kind of silvery. Rich: :oÞ LOL Victor: Thanks for your comments. I live in Panama a couple of countries down the road from Guatemala, so I guess we have the same bugs.

By the way, one thing I really like about this picture is that you can see details of the spider's feet -- how it is holding onto the web. I normally don't see this in spider pictures. -- Victor

LOL - You got me, I'll have to remember that.

Hehe, trust you Nugar:-) Very good shot too. Well done.

LOL I was worried that nobody would rise to the bait! As Victor points out, a spider is not an insect, so it is technically on topic :) Now if you would have said "bugs"...

Now here is a good reason why I don't think insects should be excluded (even though this is not an insect). This picture is very nostalgic for me. It brings me back immediately to my second home in Guatemala. I love these spiders. We called them run-away spiders because at the slightest hint of a thread, they run away from the middle of their orb web to some hiding place. -- Victor

Looks more "insect" than "garden" to me. Are the rules more relaxed in exhibition? Great shot though!
