Spider in Dew-bedecked Web
Yet another web of the banded garden spider (Argiope trifasciata). The spider hangs head down near the center, waiting for an insect to blunder into the web -- but the insects sit immobile on the grass, covered in the night's dew, waitng for the sun to dry them off and let them fly. In the grassland near Trail 3 and Road F: ant survey point WL760. 9/17/2016, 9:18:19 am, just before the fog lifted from the ridge.
