Ruler of a crystalline empire of light, an almost translucent spider reigns over its small world.

Awesome! I love spiders! This one is so beautiful-almost floating in space and time. You Rock!

It looks like it is doing some sort of ballet move in front of the footlights.

Or maybe it’s doing a high wire performance for the Circus Arachnibus, working on creating its own safety net.

Nice interpretations, Denice and Bill. This is one my favorite spider images, from my backyard, and shows how elegant they can be.

I was going to say he looked like he was dancing, but everyone beat me to it. Guess it must be true. Great shot.

Spiders do seem to perform an agile ballet as they build and manipulate their webs.
