Walking on the Sky
As I walked along the trail beside the San Antonio River, I happened to look up between two trees. About ten feet or so off the ground, this large orb weaver spider appeared to be suspended in mid-air. Its web was invisible against the bright light of the sky:
Given the lack of detail due to the bright backlight of the sky, I really can't identify the Genus, much less the species of this spider. The large orb weavers in the Family Araneidae are very common in South Texas particularly in the Fall.
