Discovered a huge spider web with in West Yorkshire

Huge spider web in my garden found the family of Morris, cobwebs spun not spiders huge spider web was made by caterpillars.

Resembles the structure of the tent, it is made of fine white silk, and its main purpose is to protect the larvae from hungry predators.

The web, which is 3.5 m in length, spun caterpillar on cotoneaster in the rose Bush in the garden of John and Jackie Morris (John and Jackie Morris), a pair of Golkar party to be in West Yorkshire.





And it seems those caterpillars which are the larval stage - which have chosen this place, making the web here three years ago.

Gardening expert Graham porter (Graham Porter) said it was quite surprising to see that the cotoneaster spun their nets in the same place.

"Usually they can not meet again at the same plant in the same garden, — the expert says porter.

The owner of the garden Morris, who works as a truck driver, said: "the Neighbours think it's really amazing."

"It started a few weeks ago, and now more and more growing".

And the couple says that the presence of webs in their garden is not a problem.

"We're really not concerned about what's happening," said Mr Morris.

Grown-up, caterpillar cotoneaster 12-15 mm in length become pupae in early summer, after feeding during the spring, when the webbing becomes more noticeable.

When the time comes to emerge from a cocoon, will trigger the temperature signal for the moth to escape.
