Spider Webs

Challenge #229 in the Life in the Natural World series. Hosted by RuthC.

Challenge has finished

Here is your opportunity to showcase the beauty and intricacy of these remarkable insect-catchers. Your entry might be a complete web, with spider, or just part of one. The spider may be present, but the web MUST be the main subject: more web, less spider. Macro and close-up shots welcome. The photos should be taken outside in their natural environment, (unless you too have spider webs inside your home...) MAXIMUM SIZE 1,600px. on the longer side.
