I have seen entire trees completely covered in spider webs when I visited Central America in my teens, but nothing like this. It is sometimes humbling when you realize the work small insects can do in comparison to what we can do. The industriousness is awe inspiring...

There is an ad on the page asking me where I will go this weekend. Not to that farm for sure.

I think you'd struggle to get there anyway...

You know how Aussies are; they just call that a pond...

I've met wolf spiders before and I've not been too bothered by them - but I'm extremely glad I'm not there!

Um... do we have a Best Nightmare Fuel category? Because this thread would be an early frontrunner.
