Funnel Webs

September 15, 2012 Riley Rural, Things to do in California

I was out for a walk this morning, and there were tons of funnel webs to see. I thought this one was particularly striking because you can get a full side view of the funnel shape. Kind of makes me think of Wizard of Oz…

And here’s a shot from the top. Sometimes, you can see the spiders hanging out at the top of the hole. Usually, they’re wolf spiders. Occasionally, they’re other kinds of spiders that I do not recognize, which is all for the best because I don’t really want to know how many Brown Recluses are residing in the yard.
