While taking pictures of the flowers in my garden, I came across a tiny inhabitant.

I first noticed some webbing. I went in for a closer look...

and saw a tiny spider. I peered in even closer....

and found myself at spider's dinner table. Gnat anyone?

Nice photo essay. I really don't like spiders but if it's getting rid of the gnats more power to it.

Pretty shots, but it kind of gives me the heebie-jeebies... I'm not a spider fan!
Regardless, you truly captured the beauty!
