Hello everyone.
Nuctenea umbratica, Walnut Orb Weaver.
Couple days back I saw beautiful spider on its web.
I took some photos. Then I noticed that spider caught something and it is wrapping its pray.
Color and texture of this spider is very beautiful.
Different shades of brown color and nice pattern on its back.
I find these spiders very beautiful. They can be different colors and patterns but they are similar.
I will add some photos of similar spiders in size and pattern .
First photos.
I took couple photos. Then I saw that food is being prepared.
It wraps it prey by rotating it and adding the wrap (web).
Side view.
Better look at the spider and its prey.
Here are similar spiders. These are older photos. I dont are these same species but for me they are similar in size and shape.
