Walk into my parlor: A spider web is amazingly complex. And deadly. In the image above, featured on our Instagram page, an Amazon thorn spider (Micrathena schreibersi) feeds on a small stingless bee while hanging off a spiderweb in Ecuador’s Yasuní National Park. The spider in the photo is a female, with large spines on the abdomen, while the males are smaller and with shorter spines.

@firekitten830 submitted: I’ve never seen a spider(?) like this before! I had a lovely time watching them crawl around though I don’t think they were very happy about the fact they they were in a moving vehicle (I got them out once we stopped). Location is Maryland
Ohhhhhhhhhhh really cool find! Not one I’ve had submitted before. It’s a male arrow-shaped orbweaver, Micrathena sagittata. Females look like this:

I found a spider in the woods and I took pictures of it
Google says it's a Spined Micrathena, which is a kind of orb weaver (meaning it weaves its web in a circle).
The bark is a backdrop because without it my phone camera wouldn't focus on the spider.
