Orbweaver Spiders
I don't know insect names very well. If anyone knows what this is let me know.
These are the spiders I mentioned yesterday in my Short-eared Owl post. These things are big. You can sort of get an idea from the midges caught in the web. They are about 3" in diameter.
Growing up I recall every once in awhile a tree or shrub in our neighborhood that would become covered with these same spiders and their webs. My friends and I would try to see them before the homeowner got out the spray.
Antelope Island seems to be their safe haven. In some areas every bush is cover in webs. I tried to count and one 4’ sagebrush had 22 spiders on it.
