I noticed a quite lovely funnel web yesterday morning! The maker was hiding of course, so I figured I’d lightly tap the web’s edge with a piece of straw. That absolutely did the trick, and I was impressed with this little spider’s speed with checking out the tiny disturbance! They explored the web for a couple minutes, and I tried to take some pictures to show off both the web and it’s owner. I liked this one the most, so I’m sharing it with you all!
I’m not exactly sure, but I did a reverse image search and this bug guide article seems promising! They say either funnelweb or grass spider: https://bugguide.net/node/view/552847
