And finally - a blog wouldn't be the same without a wildlife photo!
 |
| A wasp spider - again, this time clearly showing the stablimentum |
"Wasp spiders build an orb web with a vertical zigzag pattern of silk in it called a stabilimentum. The purpose of the stabilimentum is unclear but it is thought that it helps attract insects. Previous theories have suggested that the stabilimentum makes the web more stable or deters birds flying through the large webs". BBC science and nature
