This looks like a "tangle-base" web spun by a female Black Widow spider.

Two types of Black Widow webs: sheet-based web on left; fortress tangle-based web on right

Looks like it was done by a real old spider that forgot how to
follow the instructions. I know the feeling! Thanks for sharing!

We have a large supply of Black Widows here where I live.
They weave webs like this.

LOL Gave me a laugh, Bob. Very, very interesting shot, DU. I've never seen one like this before.

That certainly is different than any spider web I've ever seen! And since it's a black widow spider that wove it, I hope I never do see one! Good examples from Nikonian! Well done, RJM!

Not sure about the Brand but Budweiser or Jack Daniels wouldn't surprise me.

My limited experience agrees with the others, Black Widow.

Great photos of a deadly spider (to a limited few by percentage).
