Brunilda - a photo on Flickriver

Brunilda

Familia: Araneidae
Genus: Araneus
Species: diadematus
Female, ± 10 mm

Waiting on my trap.
This beautiful orange female diadem spider was waiting for a prey, standing in the middle of her huge web (more than 2 meters large, by including the whole structure). This photo is very similar to another one I took some months ago (www.flickr.com/photos/riprod/7977679679/in/photostream/), except that this time, it is an adult, not a juvenile.

Another thing,
I am very happy to say that my "Maldina and her spiderlings" photo (www.flickr.com/photos/riprod/7450786854/in/photostream) made its way between 7772 photos from 1209 photographers and has been selected in the finalists for the ARGUS photo contest (Belgian photo contest) in the section "Baby animals".

I am very proud and invite you to vote for my photo on this page (you will need to confirm your vote via a link sent by email): www.concoursphotoargus.be/FR/p10588/comment_voter/adultes...

Thank you, I hope this photo will get a good visibility and will help to make these little monsters less scarier.
