A Funnel Weaver spider (also known as a grass spider) decided to create its funnel web at the base of my plant pot. Each day I would look into the funnel to see if the spider was there, but I couldn't see the bottom of the funnel. With my camera in hand, and careful positioning so as not to touch the web, I used a small pen light to illuminate the funnel. I was quite startled to see a rather large spider looking back at me! I managed to get a couple of photos and then left him alone.
