Close-up of Spider spinning it's web detail seen Clearly.wmv

A fantastic view of this spider spinning a web at dusk ready for catching supper. This clearly shows the systematic method that it uses one leg to attach the thread from the spinneret to the next radial.

Wait till he's finished, then throw a rock through it. That'll show him.

@ihate40 Posted the answer on the page. One guy I showed had fear in his eyes and told me to be careful.LOL

Yes I did! by walking from spider's locale to across to where the other tree was by placing one foot in front of the other(size 11 shoe). Keep in mind, mid portion of the web was positioned exactly like a bull fighter holds the red sheet and around 7ft.high3 feet wide but we could not see how it was being held up on the south side and sense the south tree was so high up and far away we thought NO WAY. Finally found the single thread and asked 4 camera but it was night w' not many students.

Amazing..I saw one spider the other day in the campus garden that had spun a 7ft tall vertical web..with the spider sitting in the middle at the 4ft. mark,,but the web was supported by a 30 ft. long support thread 18ft. high.
