looks like a female garden spider. Not fully grown. Can grow big and colourful. At a previous dept I worked we would be given them because people thought they were foreign. LOL I have a couple in the cave planning on making a family LOL Good luck to him. Think you may need a zoom lens to catch a good picture of her?@tintin40 I've been trying to get a picture of a spider that has set up shop in my yard, the thing is a beast, almost 2" tip to tip, but it's crafty as well. Every time I get a lens close to it, it scurries for cover. Best I've gotten so far, only good thing is the effect of the web on the fence in the background View attachment 774550
try setting the camera on multiple picture speed? Then maybe one will be focusYeah, I'm working with a phone camera with badly scratched lens, here she is from the underside, the black blur at her face is a bug she's noshing onView attachment 774627
Can't make it focus on the large object in the center of the viewfinder no matter what I try.
