Night and early morning are the best times to see this one out in the open :)

I've been observing one that's similar to this and want to photograph it, but it's hiding all day long, rarely coming out to a half-heartedly built web, that too only in the night time! Few photos that I've managed with my Galaxy S3 are not so impressive. Will post to share when I get few good shots.
