I love to go into my garden at night with a lantern or flashlight and my macro setup to see what comes out in the dark. This array of spiders are all nocturnal hunters. I was thrilled to come across several that I had not seen before, including a new one guarding her spiderlings (top left corner) and another one guarding her egg sac, spun into a silken "cradle" (bottom right corner). I will add the species names, if I can identify them. For now, the ones I do know are: top right" Marbled Cobweb Weaver, center: Cross Orbweaver, second row, left: Spotted Orbweaver, middle and bottom row, left: Spotted Orbweavers.
