Spiders getting busy

Taken this morning using my 550d and Tamron 90mm.
The male Orb, with sperm packet in his mouth, is sneaking up to the female from under their web.
He quickly dives in and deposits it under her abdomen before dropping quickly from sight, narrowly missing becoming breakfast.

Great shots JJJ, typical male, sneaking up on the poor unsuspecting lady. :lol:

Special, JJJ! Haven't seen that before.

Great captures Jeanette, very nicely illustrated by your choice of shooting position. What an enormous disparity between M & F – quite a remarkable series, thanks for the views!

Cheers

Lovely clear shots, JJJ. Your Golden Orbs must run a bit behind ours for mating - our girls are now very swollen!
