I have no idea what type of spider spins this web.

It was about the size of a soccer ball.

Paula said...

Wow that is a weird web. I have never seen anything like it.

What a cool shot! Both nature and abstract.

Why do you freak me out with stuff like this?

TorAa said...

Ooops - what is going on? Spam or virus? *giggles*.

A great capture

Bevson said...

Huh! That is pretty weird. And huge!!! Be careful, I would hate to see who spins it.

Liz Hill said...

I am so fascinated by spider webs !! Way cool--and you have to think there's more intelligence going on in the creation of that than there was in doing what I've got posted today *tee hee*

G'day from Australia, Catherine

I followed your link from Hammer's blog. That spider web picture is awesome.

And as someone who lives in Oz, where the spiders are pretty famous, I have to ask the question: if the web's that big, how big's the spider?

Nice Wordless Wednesday shot. I guess you might like the one I posted for Wordless Wednesday as well. It's natural colours, not digitally enhanced in any way - and just shows you some of the amazing shades we see in our sky here.

I like your camera work. Well done

Cheers

Love spider webs.
Of course I had "step into my lair" zipping through my head as I saw this.

Andree said...

I looked at the large view to get an idea and I know NOTHING but I remember seeing, while trying to identify one of my spiders, funnel or tunnel spiders. Your web has an opening. I don't know if its for babies or for prey. Try bugguide.net, they have helped me a bunch!

Amazing Gracie said...

I sure hope it was the web that is the size of a soccer ball and not the spider!
I love spider webs, too, but this guy looks as though he was smokin' crack while spinning...
Thanks for visiting...
~~~Blessings~~~

That is indeed a weird web! Cool, though.

Desert Songbird said...

Ewwww! That's wicked!

"What a tangled web we weave ..."

That is one very creepy looking web. I'm not much of a spider fan so I get the feeling that one would have really crept me out!

Shan said...

Just looking at that creeps me out--I have a huge fear of spiders. *shudder*
