I want to know how he got from the net to the fence like he did. Any Ideas?
I shall not kill anymore spiders, thanks to worthy DPCers opinions. If it is a Black Widow, Fiddle Back, or any other poisonous creature though, it will die. I did not kill this one either. He is as free as they come. |

it never ceases to amaze me how far some of these webs can stretch. I saw one recently at the botanical gardens that was between two reeds and it was a good foot or more apart. Totally amazing.

I think......
He stood at the bottom of the net and shot out a spiderman type skooshy web thingy to the fence post, hooked up a zip slide type arrangement then zipped down. By using his feet as brakes he stopped himself midway and skooshed out another spidey web thingy to a lower point on the fencepost. Using these two as top and bottom tension lines it was then just a matter of lacing them up as written in the "Dummies Guide to Webbuilding" spiders handbook.
Of course I may be wrong

She started at the bottom of the fence, climbed up and back down the net, all the while letting out a line. She then attached a new line to the net and used the original to pull herself back over to the fence;)
Or, she started at the tip of the net, dropped to the ground and walked over to the fence with the line.

I believe the spider lets out some thread and just lets it blow in the breeze until it sticks to something!
I saw one in the garden the other day which must have spanned 10feet! |

lol actually a spider drops from the primary object (in this case the net) and is carried by the wind towards the pole thus starting his/her web.
