Garden spider web, computer artwork

Garden spider web. Computer artwork of a garden spider (Araneus diadematus) web. This orb web is designed to capture prey. It is made of tough non-sticky radiating silk threads (radii), interconnected by an elastic, sticky spiral thread (hub). After construction, the spider will remove the central hub and remain there waiting for prey. A fresh web is usually constructed every 1-2 days and typically takes one hour to complete

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning computer artwork captures the intricate beauty of a garden spider web. The orb-shaped structure, meticulously constructed by the talented arachnid Araneus diadematus, is designed to ensnare unsuspecting prey. Made from tough non-sticky radiating silk threads called radii, this masterpiece is interconnected by an elastic and sticky spiral thread known as the hub. After completing its architectural marvel, the spider will remove the central hub and patiently wait for its next meal to become entangled in its trap. It's fascinating to observe how nature has equipped these creatures with such cunning hunting techniques. The garden spider diligently constructs a fresh web every 1-2 days, dedicating approximately one hour to complete each masterpiece. This process showcases their remarkable skill and precision in creating these delicate yet robust structures. In this monochrome illustration created through computer artistry, we can appreciate the complexity of this natural wonder. The image highlights not only the biological intricacies but also serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse wildlife and fauna. This print from Science Photo Library allows us to delve into the world of invertebrates and explore their extraordinary abilities while admiring their artistic creations.
