There were a bunch of these gossamer threads scattered around the lawn a few mornings back. They look like spider webs, but that doesn’t seem likely. Any thoughts?

for the people – thanks!

larry – no kidding! Looks like I have a lot of spiders lurking about the yard. Isn’t that great?

cicero – thanks for the ID – now I have to go research funnel-web spiders. good thing I’m a librarian. :)

I’m pretty sure these are the webs of funnel-web spiders.

I think I’ve found those things as a kid and after waiting them out a spider did finally make an appearance.

Cool pictures. Also great idea!

Hi Wren, I bet Doug of Gossermer Tapestry could tell you. I think they are some kind of spider web, but that is only a guess.
