Golden silk Orb Weaver
Thanks for your quick answer. I am posting this on photo site, and I like to have the names. I take advantage of y'all here. At my age I just do not have the time to do reseach, it is a full life keeping all my photo software up to spec. LOL I was not sure I was seeing right, all my life in the woods, and I have never seen gold thread, amazing. nature is truly fasinating.
Again, Thanks.
