Orb weaving spiders take over a garden in Dural, NSW, spinning intricate webs of silk into delicate wheel-shaped artworks
This week’s reader photo was taken by Phillip in his garden in Dural, New South Wales.
“These wee beasties are taking over the garden at the moment! Every camellia and rhododendron seems to be interconnected with webs that contain small and large spiders.”
