Description
The trouble with a heavy catch is having to mend the nets.
As true for spiders as for us.

Excellent capture!
Good shot considering the harsh light Andrea. It has served here to highlight the web.
It's what they do, eh? Great shot of this busy spider.
Cool shot.
Excellent pic
I have no doubts it will be fixed in no time and primed for another meal from the unwary :) good shot :)
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
True words, Andrea and a lovely shot :)
I've tried photographing webs several times...light has to be just right...notice there are none in my gallery:) Good job here!
I love to see them busy at work, they end up with something beautiful!!
A web of intrigue and a great shot.
The centre of the web looks like a bullet hole in glass.
beautifully caught Andrea
Creating her own website how cool is that? Great capture
Amazing the intricate work of a spiders web and when you see the elements have broken it down and you take a look the next day and it's rebuilt, spiders web is very tough... love the way the sunlight has been captured it in this shot. Nice work.
Interesting shot, A. Arachnids are genetically predisposed to repair their webs as soon as possible because their very existence depends on it, foodwise.
Lovely dappled lighting and the larger the struggling insect - the more damage to the web - but also the feast is more plentiful!
cool
A spider's work is never done. A fantastic catch. It looks like someone tossed a rock through a pane of glass.
But they are so good at it. I once found a spider inside the house with a very large web, which is unusual as insects are deterred from entering my place. Anyway I was going to put him back outside but he was so small and I feared he might have used all his resources to build that web, so I caught a little moth and released him into the web so as to feed the spider before I showed him the door. He destroyed most of the web but became a meal for the spider. As it was late, I decided to put him out in the morning, which I did. By that time the web had been entirely repaired back to exact original condition without a trace of what had happened.
He does have some gaps to fill! What did he catch a pigeon! Great shot and spot!
Wow. Marvelous photo! You've captured the web so well, and as several mentioned, you have to get the light just right, and you sure did!
