This little spider built its web last night, snacked on the bugs that came to the infra red of the camera.
Then in the am it ate its web.......interesting!

I've watched a few insect shenanigans videos recorded on my surveillance camera files. Even when the spiders are not around I'm constantly having to sweep the front of the camera lenses clear of random webs that wiggle in the wind at night and set off the motion sensor.
But since your thread is about spiders I thought I'd add a video of some tiny spiders I made a few years ago. It was made with an extreme macros lens, many of the scenes are only 1/4" across.

Ohhh good Mucky_Waters I had run out of good nightmare material.....
It's actually quite beautiful... But still, nightmares.

Neat vid Mucky. Spiders are cool and they are your friends T. They eat lots of bugs that could harm your plants

 

[tbendl]

I know, they are fascinating... Until you walk into a web or see one scurrying across your shower floor...

Neat video! thanks!
I remember one night, I left my az home 2am or so to go on a call. Walked out the door right into a web hanging down, full of tiny baby spiders. Half asleep, I totally freaked out, could not wipe them off fast enough.

My dear honey acts like they don't bother him, but I am the one that has to catch them and toss outside. I do know he won't get near a snake, which I would pick up without a thought.

 

[j.w]

The snakes don't bother me unless they try to bite. Even the little garter snakes will try but they don't have teeth, ha, ha!

Nice video of the Orb Weaver spiderlings......here's the adult, very neat how they put a zig zag design in the center of their web, my brother and I used to catch them around our house when we were kids.

They are neat spiders I see a lot of their webs this time of year. I scan for webs before I walk any where, quite often change my path because of them.
