Ray Orbweaver

Ray Orbweaver Spider

I initially thought this spider was something else.  A closer look, permitted by my photograph, made me aware that it was the Ray Orbweaver.

Their behavior is similar to the Long-jawed Orbweaver.   Their web looks a bit different but you need to look closely.

Their webs are placed next door the those of the Long-jawed Orbweaver.  They capture their prey the same.

Captured Insect

I think I said that the spiders run out onto the web when an insect is captured.  I have since observed that they don't necessarily always to that.
