Shamrock orb weaver (Araneus trifolium)

This big spider was wedged tightly in between two milkweed pods. Well hidden, as they like to be, waiting for something to shake their web, at which point they can move like greased lightning from their hiding spot.

1/250s f/2.8 at 5.0mm iso100 full exif

Wow, c'est extraordnaire, je n'ai jamais vu une telle araignée par chez nous.
Une photo fantastique.

Scrolling down, at first I saw a jack-o-lantern before I saw the legs. What a surprise, great capture. V
