A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
These beautiful orb webs are dismantled every morning and recreated again each evening. The central dry-silk zone surrounded by the free zone and further out the main catch web are very clearly seen in these Hairy Field spider webs.
The veld-span fencing (15 x 30 cm rectangular mesh) surrounding my goat pens, attracts many of these spiders.
There are 2 fairly similar genera of Hairy Field spider in our area: Araneus and Neoscona
