This post is full of spiders! Ok, not really, just spiderwebs.

Quite a few of my posts were inspired by others. This one goes to @papa-pepper, and his post about scorpions and black light lamps.

I prefer spiders myself, especially if they are of the webspinning variety. Because most of the wood dwelling webspinners are awesome!

Apparently tags no longer help put one image as preview one. So this is the first image.

But first, I'll have to tell you how I met those spiders, or rather their webs. You see, me and my friends tend to go to this swamp, or rather a floodplain near Moscow from time to time for a very closed & very private party.
We do more open events and I actually plugged one such event in Moscow, it happened this weekend and ran in parallel to the first Moscow Steemit Meetup, so people that could have visited it went to hang out with other users instead, and I am some 5.500 km too far away.

Anyhow we go to this one clearing on the edge of the floodplain, and do weird stuff. Like playing music to the swamp. I think of all times that I've been there the most people we had was like eight?

Accessories for the weird stuff.

Actually only the masks are for weird stuff, and the duck tape and the knife is for setting up the tent. But looks ominous, right? Okay, I gues this suffers from "Tell, not Show", but most of this stuff I can't actually show you. But if you saw the videos in this post you can probably imagine what kind of weirdnes we are talking about. I promise, that when I have something to show you, I will!

So, we set up a tent, gather some deadwood to start a fire, bring out a diesel engine for electricity, and do music.
This one time, I went to look for branches and stuff in the dusk, and encountered this huge wood spider in thr center of a really beautiful web. But unfortunately no source of light other than the iPad that those pictures are taken with, and they are notoriously bad at night time photos. So I decided to go visit this net during the dawn. But unfortunately, the spider already left to catch some zzzs. And the empty net isn't as impresive. Other than the fact that it uses it as an extension of its perceptive system, with each limb sitting connected with one of directions. It is a lot like being in a cockpit of a vehicle, except for the fact that the web is not going anywhere.

The web is cool, but without the spider its not that impressive.

Well, there was a good thing, that on the edge of the plain there were a lot more webs and spiders. And with the morning dew they look spectacular!

This looks like a comfortsble house.

During the conversation we came with an image of a stag sunk in that field...

...with spider webs in its antlers!

And since I've promised you actual spiders, here is one:

An actual spider. Most likely of the same species, that build that home above.

There are some more photos from that trip, but they don't feature spiders, webs or anything related, so I don't feel they have a place in this post. There are even a couple of videos, but they are set to private. Maybe some day, I can get the people of Prorora Crew join steemit, and then you'll may be able to check them out for yourself, but this day is not today.

Well, till the next time! And I should get to sleep, somehow I've been up till 5 am. Oops!
