So, Dave, you've got the white spider there. But what of the white heal-all? And the dead white moth? There's a challenge for you--or anyone: find and photograph a scene that has all three ingredients of Robert Frost's "Design":

Design (Robert Frost)

I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth --
Assorted characters of death and blight
Mixed ready to begin the morning right,
Like the ingredients of a witches' broth --
A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,
And dead wings carried like a paper kite.

What had that flower to do with being white,
The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
What brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
What but design of darkness to appall?--
If design govern in a thing so small.

Daisy fleabane with bokeh pretty much obliterating anything recognizable in the background.
