B&W Photo Contest: Animal Theme: Spider in a Web (also Monochrome Monday)
I refuse to crop this to Steemit thumbnail proportions. I feel like that would ruin the looks, not that I'm trained in that stuff.
As well as it covering #monochromemonday I want to enter this shot in the B&W photo contest from @daveks. Animals theme
It is a pretty common type of orb weaver spider found in Europe (I'm in Denmark and this is taken in the edge of our pony pasture), but I am not certain of the exact species. There are a few that are very similar and I haven't spent enough time studying the distinguishing markings. And, as my gut instinct thought, this would be a female. Apparently the males don't usually have the very round fat bodies.

Haha. Oh steemit, you know I love you. Steemit's just jealous that I've been spending time elsewhere...
