Rocky Mountain Moments

Star Bellied Orbweaver

I spotted this spider outside my bathroom window when I finished my shower this morning. I grabbed my robe and camera and went out to the deck. I started from far away but, inspired by lippinfou's blip from the 16th, I finally managed to get pretty close. One of the pictures clearly shows the black star on her abdomen so I was able to identify it. I like this shot because you can really see the poor moth who got caught in her web. She appeared to have wrapped it in a neat little package.
