THE SPIDER THREAD

Evolution of spider web.

This is a web in 3D, like a trawling fishing net. It's more complicated than the common 2D webs.

Size of main "basket" is as big as a basketball net.

Going to take a better stacking photo with my tripod next time if it's still there.

3D spider web
Confirmed. It's home of a tiny spider in orange.

P. audax having a Robber Fly for lunch. I was on my gutter downspout about an inch from the ground, so I couldn't get a better angle.
