I even tried to identify this spider by searching spiders that spin zig-zag webs :D and then I found that many do so... and this term is also in my language (it is even written like that: zig-zag :D)
Omg, I'm surprised that you guys also use the expression 'zig-zag'. I confess that I was not going to shoot this web, it was built next to some ugly pieces of wood. I have not interested at first sight. But then I saw that the sun's rays were focused on the web and was so tiny and beautiful. Thanks for the informative link. :) Thanks, sintija.valucka.

Maybe some other day it won't be so shy! :)
I found that these zig-zag lines are known as stabilimenta ;)
You can read about them and their purpose here -> http://insects.about.com/od/spiders/tp/W...
thanks, sintija :) I could not photograph the spider, I would have to undo the web.
wow, beautiful! :)
Great spotting!
thanks, beaker. The central part of the web where this hidden spider is about 1 cm.
Amazing pattern, Sckel.
