Araneidae
The morning sun hit this Orb-Weavers web just right to get this beautiful image of the rainbow of colors. This spider and web was tiny. They locate prey by feeling vibration and tension of the threads in their web, then quickly turn the captive with their legs while their fourth legs pull out silk and wrap the victim.
Orb-Weavers form a family of 2,500 species found in all parts of the world.
Orb-Webs are built by most species at night.
