Field Notes

Description:

I found more than 30 different species of spiders like this one in a 3 acres area. Some stay in the center of their webs, waiting for a prey. Others, like the one in the picture, sit comfortably on a leaf, with only one leg holding a line attached to the web, just like a fisherman waiting for a fish!
