Morbid fascination. Spiders are quite amazing. This one observed while outside in the courtyard at the Hampstead Antique Emporium. . . . . #hampsteadantiqueemporium #inthecourtyard #hangingout #watchingaspider #spider #spidersweb #spidersprey #grasshopper #morbidfascination (at Hampstead Antique & Craft Emporium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTHHcw2Ate4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Arachnaphobes look away now. It's only a common garden spider, but amazing to watch. This one's web keeps getting disturbed and today, she had to rebuild pretty much from scratch. Here she starts working on the inner spiral of the web. I didn't film it, but after a few circles around the centre she went on to do 1/2 a dozen outer rings. I suppose it's to establish strength before filling in the middle rings. Fascinating! . . . . #watchingaspider #spidersweb #webbuilding #amazingspider #windowview #windowledge #plantpots #spidershome #gardenspider #naturemovie #realnature #urbanwildlife #citybugs #arachnids #spider (at Kentish Town) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpr5DoEHuWd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8sp5bshpz013

Arachnaphobes look away now. It's only a common garden spider, but amazing to watch. This one's web keeps getting disturbed and today, she had to rebuild pretty much from scratch. Here she's constructing the radial lengths of the circle she will create.
