These are the guys that always end up covering me when I'm mushroom hunting in the forest.
Same here. They seem to like building their webs at eye-level, so I end up walking face-first into their webs at least once or twice each summer.
Haha yeah I've seen many of them dangling off the front of my hat before. I read somewhere that these are one of the most common spiders by sheer number in the world.
wow. a macro shot that is extraordinary
