Black-Striped Orchard Spider (Leucauge celebesiana)

Good day everyone! When I was about to leave the hunting spot, I accidentally noticed orb-weaver spider was perching on green leaf. The web really looks like an air filter, trapping weak-flying insects that cannot see the fine silk. It is classified into tiny spiders species that are commonly found in a wide variety of plants, in the bush, scrubs, and hedgerows, also sometimes hide on nearby low vegetation. To get the pictures, I had to make sure that it was steady enough as I believe, it is a typical spider that does not like to be disturbed. If we notice closely, the web is very complex that is built in the air and makes us wonder how but don't think about it too much because every creature has its own way to survive and to build shelter upon the gift of God. As the expert said, to build the web, the spider release a silk thread that is carried by the wind

If the free end does not become attached to an object, the spider may pull it back and feed on it. If it becomes firmly attached—for example, to a twig—the spider secures the thread and crosses the newly formed bridge, reinforcing it with additional threads. source
