Description
An orb weaver, member of the spider family Araneidae, is a builder of spiral wheel-shaped webs.
This particular web was spun in a cluster of cattail stalks along a pond edge in New Hampshire.
While photographing cattails, my eye caught a beautiful brightly colored spider.
It had entrapped a large dragonfly. Delicate silk threads wrapped the body of the fly. I was moved by the symmetry and balance of spider and fly, prey and predator, life and death, the delicate balance of creation.
