Big spider web

By DAN ROBINSON Editor/Photographer

An orb weaver spider has been building a large, impressive web over two feet in diameter on the deck here at the house every night. The webs' support threads have been over 10-15 feet long, stretching all the way across the deck to connect the edge of the roof with either the railing, the chaise lounge, or the tree in the backyard. I tried setting a camera up to do a time-lapse of the web-weaving process, but the spider would quickly run and hide whenever I turned the light on the subject.
