October 16, 2006: Heavy dew on spiderweb
"Damn, I love these pictures," says xoxoxoBruce sending along these from Weather Underground. "Me too," is all I can say in return. The spiders I know weave new webs daily; they're remarkably hard workers, and so there's probably not much lost by this guy as he's not going to catch much at this point. And I think I've heard they eat the old webs in some cases. This guy may not be able to do that. Or maybe he's so small he can wipe down a bit of dew. |

That reminds me, I've got to get those Christmas lights up before it gets too cold out.

Stunning.
I am trying to get over my phobia of spiders as they are very helpful creatures to have around and they cannot help it if they were born with, like, what?-20 eyes? |

*&^$#$#(($$##W(@ Dew!!! I'm hungry!!
It probably evaporates rapidly dew to very large surface areas on small drops, the moment the dew point rises. Be interesting to see. |
