Web Photos |
 Send
in your webs! I have heaps of photos of spiders, but very few of
webs, so send them in!
I'll pick a
"WEB OF THE MONTH "
or maybe year going by the lack of photos at present, and feature it
in larger size. There are 2 types of spiders, the hunting spiders
like the wolf spiders and tarantulas and the web spinning spiders
like the Argiopes and Garden Orb Weavers. All spiders can spin silk
but only the web spinning spiders spin webs for their homes.
Many thanks for allowing me to use these photos. All photos are
copyright to their owners and may not be reproduced without

Hi Glen, A couple more webs for you. This one appears to have a dead
spider outside and a live one inside. Is it worth posting on your
site? Cheers, Eddie

I have attached pictures of a spider that has re-appeared in my back
yard. It only comes out at night. In the past few years, it has been
making it's web pretty high up, between 2 orange trees. One year,
however, the web was HUGE.... stretching at least five feet wide.
This year it has been making a web between a banana tree and a
hanging planter (pole). Can you help me to identify if this is a
poisonous spider or not? The pale yellow body is slightly smaller
than a dime. The legs are mainly orange with brownish/black where
they attach to the body. It is very difficult to get a good color
picture of this spider. I have tried using a flashlight sitting in
another hanging plant. This is the best I have been able to do so
far. Thank you, Nancy

Glen,
More
photos. These two spiders (the one in photos 19. 20. and 21 appear
to be an orb weaver?) were building their webs within inches of each
other in my front porch. Can you tell what the smaller one may be.
My digital camera could not give me a clearer shot of the spider,
I’m sorry to say.

Reply: Your
spider will probably survive relocation, but you cannot expect
her to stay where ever you move it too. I usually move those
kind of spiders on my house so I can watch it more closely. Joe

Dear Glen, Just a quick question - I'm moving house and have a
beautiful orb spider resident in the backyard. I suspect that
when I move my housemate will kill her. If i catch her in a jar
and take her with me to the new place, will she survive
relocation? I know, its probably a silly question! Thanks, Jude
