Cribelate webbing on Black Sage
This photo shows webbing at the end of a dead stem of native Black Sage (Salvia mellifera, Lamiaceae). Hah, it looks like rigging on a dusty model ship! I believe this is "cribellate" webbing which is fuzzy and lacks any kind of sticky stuff, see this photo and this photo for more examples. Maybe this is the work of a cribellate species of Mesh Web Weaver in the family Dictynidae. Happy Web Webnesday! (San Marcos Pass, 13 November 2018)
