Golden Silk Orbweaver - Trichonephila clavipes

Golden Silk Orbweaver - Trichonephila clavipes
Daphne, Baldwin County, Alabama, USA
August 27, 2008
COLOR adds everything to a meal ... a Nephila clavipes preparing a Green June Bug (Cotinis nitida) for dinner.

Awesome shot!
Also, you can post these straight to the guide page when you know what they are. Are you sure you want to give away your rights to great images like this?

 
Thanks, thanks & thank you
I've been wanting to update my copyright, as I've recently had permission requests for academic publications, which I gladly support. BTW how do I post to guide page?

 
You're welcome
To post directly to the guide if you are sure of ID:

1. Find the page in the guide for that species (or genus if you only know what it is to genus level...and you can also post to family if you know that) 2. Click add image.... and upload from here.

To move your images:

1. Go to the image and click "tag" or "tag all" depending on if you have one shot or more of the specimen. 2. Find the species page (often provided for you with the ID). 3. Make sure you are on the images tab and then click "move tagged images". (note that the link provided for you on the image below is to the "info" tab, so you must click over to the "images" tab)

Open a second window of bugguide (I almost have two open at once), follow these instructions on one and give it a shot with your image below on the other.
