Maybe this isn't a good time to point out that you can click on the image to make it large, but you can!
See the boyfriend at the top left? This spider is so large that other species of spiders make their webs inside this one. I counted three different species. Tough place for your condo!
I don't remember the scientific name that Hector gave us but the shape of the body, the web, and the poor, destined to be a sperm donor and a meal, male lead me to think they are defintiesly related. The small remains of a recent meal you can see in the lower portion of the picture are of a cicada. The mainstays of this girl's web look more like fly fishing line than spiderweb. She weaves a three D web and only the center is sticky. Rumor has it she eats the small bats and birds...I was impressed at how fast she made a full sized cicada disappear.
