The dew on the grass collects on the grass spiders' webs in the morning. The lawn is dotted with these little webs. The web is like a little funnel with a flat sheet and a little tunnel for the spider to hide in (see here .) If you look really closely you can see the little light brown spider in the web.
They create such intricate patterns.
ReplyDeleteI get worried by spider web funnels here - they are they are the home of the deadly funnelweb spider. Fortunely in the 1980s they invented an antivenom and there have been no deaths since.
