Taken on a Samsung phone (plus a small bit of tinkering)
I was always stoked to run into their cousins in, like, the US states Georgia and South Carolina. So bright! Such cool webs.
And proper webs too! Nice and prominent with the owner sat in the middle :)
The day after I took this photo we came back for another walk, just as a bee unfortunately flew into the web. I was going to try and rescue the bee, but it would have been covered in web and basically doomed anyway…so we let the spider deal with it
Here’s all the action https://lemmy.ml/post/4729765
Incredible photo. I’m amazed it’s not getting more love.
Aw, thank you!
That looks like a yellow jacket/wasp rather than a honey bee. One of those is a lot less my friend.
I’ve had a look through my field guides, and yes, I think you’re right
