AH_Spiny Orbweaver Micrathena spider silk web refraction_.jpg
A Spiny Orbweaver (Micrathena sp.) catches a shaft of light penetrating the dense rainforest canopy. Picked out by the spotlighting, the scene is transformed into a kaleidoscope of colours that shimmer and ripple as the web catches the wind. The spectacular colours are created when sunlight is refracted by the silk. Upper Caribbean slope cloud forest, Costa Rica.
