Dewdrops on Spider's Web
Today's photo is an image of dewdrops on a spider's web. This photo was taken in early June of 2016. The web was created by a grass spider (Agelenopsis species). You may notice these webs on the lawn in the early morning during the summer. The web is sheet-like and ranges from a few inches to a foot or more and has a tiny tunnel to the side. The spider hides inside the tunnel until insects land on the web and then rushes out to grab them. These webs look gauzy or lacy and are typically covered with dedrops in the early morning.
