Isn’t it amazing? Throw out one thread, see where it lands, carry on from there and look what happens!
Many webs span gaps between objects which the spider could not cross by crawling. This is done by letting out a first fine adhesive thread to drift on the faintest breeze across a gap. When it sticks to a suitable surface at the far end, the spider will carefully walk along it and strengthen it with a second thread. This process is repeated until the thread is strong enough to support the rest of the web.
Credits to my seven-year-old grandson who spied this and shouted Grandma! you had better get over here right now and bring your camera!!
i don’t care for spiders…but these are very cool pictures!
That’s so cool – love how you’ve captured this spider web.
That is the most perfect spider web I’ve ever seen! Great captures.
awesome! thanks to your grandson from your fans!
That is a huge web, Barb. Would hate to walk into that monster by mistake. :)
Fantastic shots! The web is so intricate. Must be a lot of work. As you can see, the spider in my garden just grab a fly. I don’t even see a simple web.
WOW – super shot!
Beautiful details of that spider web with the light shining on it!
you have to say thank you to your Grandson to find such a great thing to photograph, kids are amazing:)
I especially love the last one, it appears almost like an optical illusion!
Wow, what a huge web! Did you see the spider too? Your photos look great…I love the light.
Well spotted by your grandson, I hope the spider was far away. Wonderfully captured against the light.
Love the 4th photo and the rays of sunlight.
This is amazing! The web is so perfectly made and your photos are stunning. Your grandson must have been excited to find it!
These are such wonderful web shots!
Beautifully seen and captured!
Yes, kudos to your grandson. It helps having little spotters sometimes. ;)
I love how you captured it from so many angles. My favorite is the one with sun flares. These are quite beautiful!
Wow, these are striking!
