Who's Spinnin' Who? - a photo on Flickriver

            The web spun by a golden silk spider, a.k.a. banana spider, usually looks much more organized than this. It was beside the trail around Creekfield Lake in Brazos Bend State Park and may have gotten doubled over by a passing person or some other animal. Whatever the case, this one is very atypical for them.

The other unusual thing is that the end of July is very late in the year for them to begin appearing around the park's trails. I have seen them as early as early June, and this is the first I've seen in 2023. We've had a very hot summer so far, so that might affect their numbers.
