Amazing shot Chi Chi1, I often wonder about the comment that animals (in this case spiders) are dumb.
You wouldn't want to lie too still in your campers chair over there, you might wake up in a cocoon! lol.
Milo they reckon that those Dadd Long leg spiders have one of the most toxic venoms of any of our Ozzie spiders, but their mouths are too small to be harmful to us (thank goodness) or so they say.
Reminds me of that day at Greens Lake when all the little spiders came floating in.

You are right Vic. By the way, who's your mate? The black and white bloke you're draping your arm around.
If we spent a bit more time watching nature we would learn it is much smarter than we are in most things, except staying away from roads with cars, of course. Birds build their nests higher, get their fledglings flying as soon as they can, ants go higher and get very busy before big rains. This spider webbing is an amazing phenomenon indicating things were getting a bit wet where they lived, so they moved.

They're from a story about an orangutan that lost it's mother or baby (can't remember which) and had lost interest in life until they put it with a dog that was found neglected and mistreated. Now they can't be separated.

I've met a few dogs I was only too glad to be separated from. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I've seen some interesting animal love stories recently. Once again, aint nature wonderful.

Yes, I remember those. They really seemed to like the yellow coaster. Had them coming out from odd corners for a few days after.

They showed the Wagga spiders on TV this morning, becoming very popular. Was great to see it from different angles as well. Reminded me of the fairies down the bottom of my garden.lol
Just thought this was interesting. Have noticed that webs are everywhere here at home. But not on this scale.
