Somewhere between a late dinner and sundown

We caught the little silk-draper at his/her work. (Gender doesn't seem to have much significance when we are talking about a spider - except to the spider, of course.) This one was racing around the spirals, laying down ropes at a heck of a clip.


Note the difference in reflectivity of the new vs. the older silk. In the next 15 minutes after this one started, another one started a second web. Unfortunately, if we had opened the door, we would have broken its web.
