neville parkToday I took advantage of the warm weather and took a nice stroll along the lake. I found a new source of winter spiders: dead goldenrod tufts and Queen Anne's Lace!
This late in the season, most of the QAL umbels have been reduced to skeletons, umbrella spokes snapped off halfway. The umbels that are still thick clusters are held together with spider silk. And tiny spiders shelter there, still alive somehow.
