There is this Gnarly looking spider that has taken home among my bird feeders. It has made a spectacular web.
Thing is it only comes down at night and it sits right in the middle of the web. Its so cool. Its a very creepy looking spider also. I couldnt even tell you what kind it was.
I have seen it come down at dusk if we are not outside but I took my eldest daughter out to look at it when there was still some light and it fled.
We got pretty close when it was fully dark, ans shined a flash light on it and it didnt move.

Heres my point. How can I photograph this spider in full darkness?

Heres what I got with 2 flash lights and the cameras flash..



I got the same results without the cameras flash also.

I do not have any lighting equipment, however my husband does have spot lights he uses if hes working on the car or something and it falls dark and he needs to finish what hes doing.
Would these be good enough to capture good shots in total darkness. It gets very very dark where I live. You can barely see your hand in front of your face.

Any advice that anyone has I would greatly appreciate and I promise a photo as best I can get it of a spider that will make you shiver.
