Tent Spider

I have now discovered that this is a Tent Spider - and it is pretty easy to see how it got that name. You can see the spider in the centre of the shot.

[Babs]

Wow, is that just from one spider, or is there a colony under there.

[Poppo Livy]

@onewing Just the one Babs. You can see him in the centre of the shot

[Babs]

Good God, I can, he has definitely been busy.

[Denise Wood]

And obviously only found in Queensland :) Love it!

[Sam]

Did you get a photo of the spider?

[Poppo Livy]

@gigiflower See comment to Babs above

[Sam]

@terryliv Oh yes I can see him. He is quite small for that mess he makes!

[Poppo Livy]

@gigiflower I've added it to the narrative

[Jenny Mallett]

Wow, he is so tiny compared to the size of the web. I wouldn't have seen him if I didn't know to look.

[Pam Knowler]

Wow that's a lot of web for such a small spider!!

[Candace]

Busy little spinner!

[Debbie]

You mush have better eyes than me. No way can I see a spider in there. But the the web would be enough to keep me away :)

[Jane Anderson]

Fascinating! I'd hate to get tangled up in that though!

[Peter]

Marvelous piece of spider engineering must have taken an age to construct, beautifully captured in great detail Terry:)

[Susan]

Lovely find and capture, Poppo!

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Wow, Poppo! That is quite a web! What a neat thing to see through your photo!

[ShirleyB]

That is certainly a mansion of the spider world. Awesome detail. Great spot.

[Debbie]

wow a lot of effort has gone into that web!

[Tony]

Brilliant detail and an amazing web.

[Susan C Clow]

Cool shot with great detail and a wonderful web. FAV

[Shirley Banford]

Oh my, this is mu worst nightmare.

[Barb Newcomb]

There must be nothing left of that spider - he's used himself up making that web!!

[Rachel]

He has been busy! Perhaps there are some baby tent spiders in there too, with their smaller tents.

[Beverly Parks]

Wow, that's quite a web! Love the detail.
