I've been noticing how brightly colored spiders are in other parts of the world. Here in the desert they are pretty monotone so seeing one as brightly colored as yours is just delightful!

Wow that is one colourful spider. Great dof in the first two shots. These are all great looking shots.

Awesome spider shot! So often, the detail of the web is lost in favor of detail on the spider. You managed to get both! Well done!

Thanks Patrick, lots of birds in Trinidad, so there are many opportunities to get shots. Glad you enjoyed though.
