One of an unknown number of meshweavers in an American Sycamore tree (216687313).
One (216687315) was much larger than the others; about 3-4mm long. It was also more brown and its patterning more diffuse.
The others were about 1-2mm long. Most of these were blue-black & white with striking patterning that is very intricate in very close views. (See 216687318, 216687319, 216687323, 216687326.)
One of the tiny ones (here), a male, was solid dark brown except for the legs.
Two of the tiny ones (here and 216687326) - the male and a female - were engaged in battle.
I wanted to see how it came out, but it just went on & on. The male would drive the female from the web, but then she would try again. They fought at very close quarters at times.
Idk if I triggered this; one of the females got sick of my intrusion and vanished. Did she go try to take over someone else's web?
