Araneus diadematus


Really tricky getting this little guy's eyes perfectly in focus - I braced against a fence and slowly adjusted my distance whilst on live view. I certainly appreciated the articulated screen.

The white form of the "goldenrod spider" (Misumena vatia)

Saw this in France last week - never come across one before and thought it was rather attractive (as spiders go!) and unusual.
 
Captured on the 5D Mark II using the Zeiss 100mm Makro and natural daylight.
