[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Captured this guy at Blues Springs State Park.

This is a Golden Silk Orbweaver also known as a Banana Spider. During the day the spider hangs head downward from the underside of the web near the meshlike center or hub. The spider repairs the webbing each day, replacing half but never the whole web at one time.

Nice colorful creature. Well captured. I don't know why most of the people fear spiders. 90% of them are harmless and they are as beautiful and intriguing as the butterflies, don't you think? I like the note too.
