No, I did not Satyen. But it makes sense. Why else would you waste so much silk !
Thanks rangers, Maria, Mark and Leuba :)
Leuba, did you know that these spiders sense all vibration on the silk lining and then come out and attack the prey? spiders
Nice blue legs ! I like the flimsy lining of silk around and outside the web. Great series Satyen. Did not know we had these huge ones in India. Thanks for sharing.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections.
