A web is bending over some Persicaria sagittata (Arrow-leaved tearthumb) on the edge of a pond. The web is filled with tiny spiders
Close up of the small white flower of Arrow-leaved tearthumb shows the web pulling it over and a better view of many baby spiders in it
Another closer crop of the original photo shows another white flower of the Arrow-leaved tearthumb and one of its leaves, as well as the spiky stem that gives the plant its name--and more baby spiders!
