RE: Photo Fun Contest - Week 14 – Entry 1 “Spiderwebs” by Sunscape
One of the nicknames they have around here is the ladder spider because of the 'ladders' they weave into the centers of their webs. A variation of these is also called the banana spider and I swear I've seen them bounce on their webs. Not sure the purpose of it, but they seem to want to have fun :P
Hi @enginewitty I know they have a lot of names around the country. I just call them my garden spiders...lol I see them regularly in my gardens and they are amazing to see. I wonder if the bounce is to attract something or maybe a mate. I have found large oval egg sacks from them and can only imagine how many babies would be in it.
