This is the second time I find this kind of silk made "tent". I was tempted to open it to discover what there was inside, but I didn't have the courage to destroy such a beautiful artwork...

Something long and green inside.. ?
This is a weird one too, Sergio. Maybe you're right, and it's not even a spider creation.

Well left sir.
Sorry Rbun, but I am sure that this is not a spider's work.
Probably a type of hunting spider tent, they make tents since they're on the move all the time so if you look up hunting spider species of the area you would probably identify it.
Nature's the best designer!
It is most remarkable. I have seen sawfly larvae in the process of spinning nest like this that have silk threads reach from side to side on the flat surface of a leaf, but not this intricate.
Done, Ava. Thanks for reminding me.
Animal Architecture mission please!
Gorgeous design on that spotting, Sergio Monteiro.
I know exactly how you feel...I have also been in that situation and I just can not do it either, I just deal with my curiosity and check the spotting often.... : )
Beautiful. And I am glad you did not destroy it. Thank you.
