Hey Guys,
I'm wondering whether you can recognize this spider and give it a name.
Location: Melbourne Outer East backyard
Date: 18-03-2017
The spider has been occupying that area for about three months while expanding the web & growing in size.
You can see a little fella right next to her, sticking around her with the hope of getting lucky, but little he knows
once he's done with serving the purpose, he has a high probability of ending up inside her belly.
The spider has a fat belly, no doubt filled with thousands of eggs.
She built a quite an elaborate & large spider web over time.
When I touch her, she would bounce violently on the web.
The spring action of the web is pretty amazing.
Too bad we still haven't figured out how to mass produce the spider web cotton.
It's the next industrial revolution waiting to happen, once or if we figure out that.
