Re: Spider Webs

*Don't like spiders (well, they ARE interesting in their own way, and some are even sort of pretty [am I saying that??]), but their webs are pretty -- especially when graced with dewdrops.  For some reason I want to look at spider web photos right now, so why not share?

http://www.freefoto.com/browse.jsp?id=01-17-0]Image collection #1

http://www.photovault.com/Link/Orders/E … html]Image collection #2  (Lots of photos here...many including the 8-legged critters which spun them)

http://home.att.net/~larvalbugbio/spiderweb.html]Image collection #3  (Top image is loveliest; looks like extremely fine and delicate lace).

Found this line at another site (with no photos):

Threads of gossamer, threads of life, fairy bridges by a spider's wife.
