I can't believe I was brave enough to look! Chris I would have been afraid to lay the ruler down next to it for fear that the spider would run over and jump on my hand. Can you tell I am afraid of those things?

Once, years ago when I was a teenager, (OK many years ago when I was a teenager ) I walked up our front walk and right through a huge spider web that was built between two evergreen trees. It was huge and felt like rope as I walked through. I ran inside and starting stripping off my clothes even before I was in the privacy of my bedroom!
