You have a gift of seeing the things that many do not see or just miss seeing. I appreciate you taking the time to share them. Beautiful captures. Peace.
The grasshopper is camouflaged so well! From humans, that is. The spider will use other senses, like tension on the web. Oh MY!! A web in front of a tunnel!! Both a spinner and a tunneler must be an awful sight to behold.
Right now we have spider webs absolutely everywhere. (And I do mean everywhere). They're fun photographing, especially after a rain, but I don't like how they're choking all our plants. (And the grass... and my dogs when they go out... and MY HEAD each time I step on the porch. Lol!)
In the fall the spiders here have grown quite large.....I undisturb nests that are not in my way. The birds have a feast and all is gone. I clean up empty nests and next spring they reappear. Kool shots Gail.
I liked your photos and happy "hoppy" got away . . .

Walking the New Ground I found a spider tunnel
bejeweled with dew.

The spider had a guest.
I watched as the grasshopper crawled toward the top
expecting the owner of the web to scramble out to catch its breakfast.

This one got away!

I'm glad the poor grasshopper got away. That is a neat web.

Such a beautifully set trap! I'm sure the next investigator won't be quite so lucky!

I love the Disney version of nature where the prey lives another day.

The early grasshopper gets away before the spider is warm enough to catch it. ^_^
You all have a blessed week, Gail.
