I saw one of these last year but found out that it was probably the male. It didn't have all the spikes on it like this, which is the female. It built it's web across the opening to a garbage container.

Wow! I have never seen such a creature. Good detail and I like that you were able to get just enough web for context. How big are these? The strand that is coming out of its hear on the right is distracting. Could be darkened just a bit or removed. Posted: 10/10/2026 20:36:11
