Garden Orb Weaver

I started out looking to photograph a dragonfly and caught a glance of this Garden Orb Weaver (Aranedia) in its leaf nest above its web.



I must have chased a grasshopper into the web and the Garden Orb Weaver quickly wrapped the grasshopper in a silk web.

Garden Orb Weavers can be identified by the angled humps on the backs of their abdomens.
