Raise a web spider.

A frame of 1 x 2 about three feet square .Four like length pieces nailed in a square gets two right triangle cardboard pieces glued opposite each other on one corner tocreate a hide. Two screw eyes,twelve inches or so down from this corner to hang it by string. This corner will be uppermost.Capture a spider and put it in the hide. You may not get the first spider( I recommend any large web builder) to spin a web, but once one does it will rarely wander. Mine were on a porch, an open door and a night light fed them. Webs make unique prints,too. Easy when in a frame.Now you can photo at your leisure. Bill.

Wrap a piece of cardboard with black velvet, find a good spider web, spray it with gold or silver paint, while still wet push cardboard against web. let painted web dry, and frame.

Great idea... thanks... and a little very light mist will make the silk shine for the picture too. (and the spider might like it as well)

Elvis was Alvis’ better known twin brother. Most people never knew Elvis had a twin brother.

But then you'd be ruining the spider's work~!

Of course, since you didn't "create" the web someone will "represent" the spyder and take you to court.

Some spiders spin a fresh web nightly. Some consume the web and rebuild. I never have given much thought about spider thought. Only it's needs. It is whatever works. Logic has taught me much in success in this field. I am new to photography. They did not overlap for me. I wish they did. Oh well " the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime".

Rumor has it that they were twin sons of different mother's. I have my doubts.
