The male (top right) was waiting at the edge of the female's web. He tentavely tested his welcome knowing that the wrong move could result in his death. While I was watching, the male approached the female like this several times and immediately retreated to the edge of the web, checking to see if the female was responsive or just plain hungry!

Spider at rest on the web. Note that a leg is positioned on each radial line outward. If an insect strikes the web then the vibrations are instantly transmitted to the spider alerting it to a potential meal.
