This mosquito is not levitating without flying. It has purposely landed on the support threads of a spider web to keep itself safe from other potential predators. Snake Road, La Rue-Pine Hills Research Natural Area, Illinois, USA, October 12, 2023.

Windy and no tripod..I would of liked a better focus here.. :(

I saw a butterfly weaved in this web and considering I was visiting the ocean where I spread my fathers ashes it felt like a sign..I believe butterflies are keepers of souls.. :)

A dome-shaped spiderweb found on my front porch shot through a dirty window in late afternoon when the sun highlighted the web. We live on a wooded lot and spiders are a fact of life. This one constructed a uniquely shaped web in the inset of the narrow window next to our front door. This was so beautifully backlit by the late afternoon sun, I had to try to capture it. Even so, the picture doesn't really do it justice.

Backyard delights - do you see the little web within a big web?

Just finished another memory card with my backyard shots and I'm sharing some of them with you. I'll be out today enjoying the weather. After all summer is slowly ending and I'd better soak up all the sun :D

An active hunter, the female Nursery Web spider spins web to protect her young as they are about to hatch to protect them until they are able to venture out alone. She will carry the egg-sac in her fangs before they hatch.

They are a widespread species and are a relatively large spider, (1.5cm long body), closely related to the rarer Raft spider; they can be spotted sunbathing in brambles or on nettles.

I went to Beaver Park this morning quite early, before 8 and it was very foggy and damp out and just as I stepped out of my car I saw a huge spider web draped in dew!!! In the comment section is the whole web and more jewel shots!

Orb weaver spider fixing her dew covered web. I love how you can see the silk coming out of her spinneret!

Webs

June 25, 2007. Perhaps one of the most perfect webs I've seen.

The silver strands that form the net

Are beaded with the stars of night

Lie jewelled dewdrops that adorn

A spiderweb in morning light.

Hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed photographing it. Have a good week!
