ID: Marbled Orb weaver spider?
While traversing the trail, came across this interesting sight. It seemed like a pair of spiders busy mating, with hardly any motion. Considering it to be a rare moment, atleast for me, I went ahead framing the act, but on close observation I realized there was something strange. The huge spider had lost few of its legs and was hanging slightly higher than where the two where and later slowly the smaller one went away from the bigger one, only to return back on the other one. This frame was taken while the small one returned back.
