Orb Weaver

Each Summer an Orb Weaver sets up camp under the awning over my front porch, building a giant web every night, catching a few bugs, and then tearing it all down before sunrise. They are awfully efficient at their craft, and kinda fascinating to watch.

This was last night's, measuring roughly a square meter. This year's camper is a fair bit larger than last year's, maybe the size of a quarter.
