Description
This poor little spotted orb weaver was missing one of its legs but that didn't stop it from building it's huge web. The spotted orb weaver is a nocturnal spider who builds its web at night and then by dawn, it eats its web and rebuilds another web at nightfall again. This was shot in the blue ridge mountains outside of our home in late August of 2013. The web was huge being about 2 feet in diameter!

This is amazing. Poor spider got a leg bit off and its doing what a spider does best. I love the perfect focus and definition.

Thanks Chris I enjoyed watching this spider for a few days as it would rebuild it's web every night.
