Lying in wait


There was a heavy dew last night, and this morning it clung to all the sheet webs in the grasses. These webs are made by grass spiders, who lurk beneath openings in the webs in wait for any unsuspecting prey that may land on them. They are seen especially in late summer and fall. In this shot, you can just make out the spider below a hole on the left.
