I have not had anything to post here for far too long. This is a small spider with an abdomen that appears like a stained glass window section. I enjoy discovering what is lurking around my house and found this Venusta Orchard Orbweaver living on my front porch. According to web information, these spiders spin nearly horizontal webs, the female hangs underneath the center, bottom side up, and they do not like sunlight. I photographed this after sunset since during the day the bkgd is brightly lit.

Wondeful find -- I've never seen anything like this spider. The shallow DOF on the web is a really nice touch, setting off the sharpness and detail of the subject.
If it was still and you were on a tripod, a focus stack on the legs might have been interesting to try, but no points subtracted for it as is!
