Orbweaver Web catches the light
Hi Laurie,
Your Spider Web photo is quite beautiful. We cannot tell you the species, but this is the web of one of the Orbweavers in the family Araneidae. The color is probably the illusion created by the silk and moisture acting like a prism when struck by light from the perfect direction.
