Just used a camera and LED flashlight (for light). By shining the flashlight on the web at different angles, I was able to get nice rainbow colors from the web.

1st saw this spider in my backyard, Glendale, AZ July 14, 2015. I have lived in Tucson and Phoenix area all my life since 1947, and never seen one like it. Went online and asked spider experts what it was. It is an orb weaver - Family = arancida; Genus = argtopa trifosciata; Species = unknown. Mine is lime green body, with striped legs, about 50 cent piece size around the legs. It is non-poisonous.

As a house fly struggles in a web, an Anelosimus jucundus slowly approaches before injecting it with paralyzing venom and sucking its body fluids. The spider, found near Fort Huachuca, is also known as a subsocial spider.

Dinnertime
Three Anelosimus jucundus spiders converge on a house fly caught in their web. The spiders, also known as subsocial spiders, are unique in that they are "social spiders" that hunt together and live cooperatively in group webs.
