We grow them big in Oregon
A silver-dollar sized orb weaver sits beside the front step, waiting for a fly, housepet, or single-engine airplane to drop in for dinner. I used my old Quantaray tele-macro lens to take this picture, and it's amazing just how little light actually makes it up to the viewfinder with such a slow lens. As soon as I win the lottery1 I'm going to have to (assuming that the US dollar is actually worth anything by then) frivol some of that money away buying some fast superzoomy macro lens so I can actually see the bugs I'm trying to get pictures of.
1: Or sell enough pictures to pay for one. I'm not holding my breath either way.
