For Helen's 'Blue' Friday Theme
On Norfolk Island we found quite a few communities of Spiders living together, covering many metres of area over and under the trees.
Yes, quite scary, but very interesting to see them there. The spiders were quite formidable enough in appearance, but are harmless. Not that I touched one - I made sure I was safely out of reach of them and their webs!!!
Note the small insects that have been caught in these webs - they look like small flies or sandflies, I think.
Check out some close-ups of some of the larger spiders

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away!
See this wall of spiders in the Workshop. The photo covers only a very small area. |

Small area of the Spiders' Webs
Edited by:Janice

This is just a very small area of the trees where the spiders had commandeered and set up their webs.
Spider webs are a well-known technique to catch preys. They come in very different shapes and sizes. Some are horizontal sheets of silk, with the spider either on top or hanging underneath. Some are beautiful orb webs, or are dome-shaped, or a combination of both. Some webs seem just like unorganised tangles, and are not as sticky as other types of web. |
