When I was a teen , someone was carefully spraying webs with silver paint , then carefully , gently pressing a square of black velvet against the silvered web, then framing and selling them . They were lovely !
sounds beautiful! I love a really good spiders web but not so much when the insects are caught in it .
Blimey I don't mind so much now about only having cabbage white butterflys here, I don't want to be anywhere near that beast
Borderline arachnophobe here.
I was both mystified and a little spooked snapping this critter, especially when she got annoyed and began shaking the web!
Getting up close and personal with spiders is easier than getting close to butterflies, but it has its downside
How big is that arachnid?
About in inch in length, plus legs
@Leafhead large.
