When we moved to Florida I learned about the grandmaster of web slingers: the Gold Orb Weaver. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephila_pilipes
2-3 inches long (body only!), makes incredibly strong and sticky webs at **head height** over open space (aka *the trail) *and waits in the center.
Have had one of these beauties on *my face *more times than I can count. 😬🕷️🕸️
The web is visible in this photo as gold tinted lines. Here we see 2 of them in tag team formation.
