The amazing images, which show the balls of water reflecting an array of colours and even other insects, were snapped by photographer Uda Dennie in his garden. One of the massive droplets even stayed in shape for about a minute before the spider scurried off. Dennie, 33, from Batam Island, Indonesia, said: "I was really surprised to get such amazing pictures -- it was really wonderful. "I have a real passion for macro photography and after lots of trial and error I'm now able to produce good images -- perseverance really paid off."
