This was pretty cool to say the least. He was about two and a half inches and a greenish-blue colour, perched slightly high up between the two branches (first picture) of a silk cotton tree. The web he's sitting on was beautiful and perfect- just as he intended it to be, I'm sure. You can faintly see the web lines in the second picture. I'm not quite sure what the zig-zag lines on the web are...maybe another layer or some markings or even some sticky spots. I was quite happy I managed to get this picture since I had a bit of trouble getting the camera to focus on him. At a height, with all the paraphernalia in the background, the little fella wasn't center of attraction for my lens.
I realize that I've taken for granted that this spider's a 'he'. Feminine just isn't the first thing I think of when I see a spider.
