the spider is a funnel weaver, not the deadly funnel web spider - confusing much? yep funnel weavers build funnel webs, but are not funnel webs...
these grass spiders build amazing webs that form a funnel and they can hide down underneath.
@beryl no fear for us - that little hole is a few mm across and the whole web a few inches ... phew @marlboromaam I can see literally hundreds some mornings, they look incredibly soft, if a breeze starts they ripple
