Painting on spiders' webs is a miniaturist art form which began in the middle of the 18th century, in the Pustertal region which was Austrian at the time. Monks were the originators of this art, painting on supports made entirely of spiders' webs, or caterpillars' silk. The painting was carried out using Chinese ink or watercolours.

I almost forgot #spidersunday   So, it's late and I'm tired and the next best thing I could come up with was an hundred million year old spidersaurus. I would have used it but for the fact that they were using it to "prove" young Earth science. Then I remembered this golden oldie. This is "real science" right here... #realscience

 *Silver Argiope*
Here's some photos of Silver Argiopes (Argiope argentata).   This spider is one of nature's many pest control agents. They weave a distinctive zigzag pattern within their web - an easy way to identify the presence of this particular species. They are not considered dangerous to humans although like all spiders can bite.
