These webs are large trampolines, thick and cover as much as a meter of space. Everything from above falls in, insects, leaves, seeds, and flowers, sometimes camouflaging the web in organic material. The spider was not visible but seems to be in a center funnel shaped entrance to the surface of the web.

These things would be more horrible to run into at night than the fake spider webs of Indiana Jones, because they're real.... and thick.
