[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The net is high above the ground (in this case ca 3 m). The tiny male, a fraction of the size and weight of the female - waits at a safe distance - for prey to land in the web. As soon as the female starts feeding, the male mates with her. When she has finished, he retreats again to a safe distance. This routine is repeated seveal times over a period of a few days.

The Golden silk orb-weaver male is a very brave soul...

Hello Ingrid! Good macro, good contrast and sharpness. Very sophisticated work. Good luck!
