The Nursery web spider is a common spider of grassland and scrub, and is often seen sunbathing among Brambles and Stinging Nettles. The adults are active hunters and do not spin a web to catch food, instead using a quick sprint to capture flies and other insects. The female carries her large, round egg-sac in her fangs. When the young are about to hatch, she builds a silk sheet among the vegetation to act as a tent, sheltering them until they are old enough to leave on their own.
I was on the Stella river banks taking some photos with the wide-to-normal zoom lenses, when I noticed this spider web just a few steps far away. I must say that my effort to take a good photo of it were frustrated, as photographing this kind of Nature wonders requires high quality lenses and a great skill. Though I could not help taking some 20 photos. This is probably the best, or the less worst as we say in Italian.
