Death to the Unwary Insect

This not-so-small golden orb-weaver was almost on my face when my canoe partner tried putting me right through her web! He did not see the web, and I was looking in a different direction when I turned to face forward and saw that she was at face level just a few feet away. Thankfully for me, I mean the spider, we did not run my head through her home and disturb her.
