I use “ASW” here to stand for Australian Spider Web. Recently there is one such web at the front yard of Yin Ping and Ho Keung’s house. Being knitted by a very large spider, the web hangs vertically downwards in such a way that any insects flying near it cannot escape from being caught. The spider really helps in reducing the annoying house-flies that often visit the homes of human around this area. I hope this “Black knight” can wipe out all the disgusting flies before we visit Yin Ping and Ho Keung’s grand house for the second time

The spider kept on knitting more and more. Instead of a single layer spider web it is now three dimensional with the spider in the centre. It has only seven legs, somehow lost one before. The legs are segmented with yellow and brown colours.Unfortunately it hasn't got much luck with meals, only caught one mosquito so far with all its effort.
I think houseflies have better eyesight than mosquitoes!
The spider was still there last Wednesday, the web had caught even a bee which was later consumed. The children of our neighbour had called her Phoebe. They had decided that she was a female. But our gardener got rid of her at last.
