I love it. You seem to have got the lighting just right to highlight the chaos of the web, and to give the great shadow of the egg cluster.
Mary MacADNski: Those are tiny, live spiders; not eggs. They are clustered at the moment but move all around the web.

UGH. I've seen this a couple times now on SC (never in real life), Mary. The web looks like sparks flying. Good eye!
Mary MacADNski: Good eye to you too. The web looking like sparks is my favorite part of this shot.

Are those yellow things eggs? I thought the spidey caught himself a flight of bees. Great picture - especially like how the web seems to float.
Mary MacADNski: Those are tiny, live spiders; not eggs. They move around the web and are very active.

Get the can of Raid. I had a nest under my deck and got them with Raid.They sure scattered when I sprayed them.
Mary MacADNski: There has never been a chemical on my property. They will grow up and eat mosquitoes.
An awesome picture !!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks. I took a photo of the same subject, baby spiders, at work the other day as well. They're everywhere!

this is crazy Mary, like the others have said all these little flecks of light look great. mal
Mary MacADNski: Think of all the mosquitoes these little spiders will one day trap!
I've never seen that before (I hate spider) : Interresting shot Mary !!
Mary MacADNski: My daughter hates spiders too so this is the first year I've been able to let them be as she lives far away.
It is a very interesting photo, Mary. It is a nest of spiders but asi does not seem something. It turns out to me peculiar to watch it! smile

Ah, you're the one breeding the little blighters. Will you please desist - Suby doesn't like them.
Mary MacADNski: They are now at work eating mosquitos.

In that case, exapand the breeding programme - quick! The heck with Suby!
Mary MacADNski: Found two nests like this at home andone at work. I'm doing my part.
Intriguing shot
Mary MacADNski: Baby spiders. It has been a popular shot.

They look like a flower with them huddled together like that!
Mary MacADNski: Reasy to blast apart!
