spiderweb

It’s been a bumper season for our 8 legged friends, which has meant a bumper year for dog walkers doing the “spider dance” after discovering the one web they didn’t see.

Webs are a very tough photographic subject, you might need to *gasp* manually focus!. So we’re looking forward to seeing what the RiotACT photographic legion can come up with.

Send in your pictures of spiderwebs for the next week to images@the-riotact.com.

A good trick to get a nice spiderweb shot is to spray it with water first.

I have a lovely specimen in my garden among the Grevillias

That website is nightmare fuel… yet I can’t stop looking.

We had one of these beasties construct her web across the path leading from the carport to the front door on Saturday night. Luckily I saw it just before walking into it…

What is the type of spider in the photo? I havn’t really come across them much prior to this summer, now they’re everywhere.
