Look what the drought has brought home...

When drought breaks, it unearths all sorts of natural wonders. Close to home, things in the garden begin to flourish, making up for lost time, during those rain deprived months or years. This, of course, brings with it an alluring sense of belonging to many a creature, including this eight-legged fellow who has just captured a fly. He (or she?) has cast a web so far and wide, it takes no prisoners. If you hit that web, you're well and truly a goner.
Fascinating to see he/she building objects within the net, such as the two vertical collections of garden clippings, so as to distract prey (or attract, perhaps) from or to the trap.
