Misty webs

From a recent November outing, with a lot of mist in the air, all spider webs became instantly noticeable...

Nikon Z7, Z-Nikkor 24-70/4

Two very striking images
Lovely sunset colours here Dogman

Haven't seen such...

Me neither Akira
At first I wondered if they were seeds....but no, it looks like my attempts at sewing
(and spiders are normally excellent threadsters)

I'm sure Birna may have some ideas though.

Yes. I wish Birna or maybe Fons would chime in!

Indeed, very creative and elaborate!

So, it has got some food.  I wish I had a dedicated macro lens, preferably of a 100-200mm class...

When the spider detects me, it shakes the web fervently possibly to scare me.

The zigzag structure is a stabilimenta, used by the Argiope family of spiders. Its function is still debated but it reflects UV and could be attracting preys.

The web shake is to fuzz it in front of a predator. You look like a predator, Akira :)

Bruno, Thank you so much for the identification and the explanation of this intriguing spider!  I'm not predator but it surely could prevent me from shooting its motion.   ;D
