  1. Really excellent shot of such a tiny cool subject. That's one amazingly disproportional web! Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
    1. Thanks! The web was so impressive, and like you said -- much larger than the spider! It must take quite a bit of work to keep it maintained. Posted 5 years ago

The bowl and doily spider is a species of sheet weaver found in North and Central America. It is a small spider, about 4 mm long, that weaves a fairly complex sheet web system consisting of an inverted dome shaped web, or "bowl", suspended above a horizontal sheet web, or "doily", hence its common name.
