Confusing spiders

I removed illustration as I am pretty sure it was of a nurseryweb-spider nursery. Interestingly one of the pics I found on the web when looking to other nurseryweb spider nurseries is probably a spider mite web [1] ;-) --Tony Wills (talk) 05:13, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Odd. I checked with a more knowledgeable friend of mine, who said that I'd identified it correctly- thanks, anyway! sonia♫ 05:39, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I am no expert but have been observing nursery web spider nurseries since the seventies, and that is what I think they look like after the spiderlings have gone. But over recent years I had noticed these other odd webs, and I think this article has educated me as to what they are, I just uploaded a couple of pics taken in 2007 and added them to the article (bold move considering my ignorance ;-), see if you can get confirmation of them. Thanks. :-) -- --Tony Wills (talk) 08:32, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
