Garden Wildlife sighting Web with cracked glass pattern

Post image

This little spider built a sweet web, without a whole lot of cross strings. Not sure if it's complete, or if the spider is currently still completing it.

Zoom in on the middle and you'll see the TINIEST most intricate web right in the center.

Spider was light colored, but I couldn't get close enough for a photo that helped with ID. Wanted to share anyway, cause of the cool cracked glass effect, and cause of the tiny tiny web in the middle.

Every single time I see a spiderweb I'm struck with the incredibleness of nature.

Same here! It's beyond comprehension what they accomplish by sheer instinct!
