Silk Spinnerets Spider Glacial Stream Cumaná

by Andrea Arroyo

Raindrops rest on the glistening silk threads extruded from the spider's rear spinnerets in this extreme close-up. The arachnid hangs suspended above a rushing glacial stream, its dark body silhouetted against the harsh, flat glare of the noon sky. Wet mountain light reflects off the water below while steady rain blurs the background into streaks of grey and green. Fine droplets coat the spider's legs and the delicate silk strands, which stretch vertically into the air. The texture of the wet exoskeleton contrasts with the smooth, flowing motion of the water beneath. One droplet rolls slowly along the edge of a leg, breaking the stillness of the frame.
