    They are called stabilimenta and have no apparent function, though they probably fluoresce in the uv range to attract prey.
    Their shape is unique to the species, gender and age of the spider.

    Thanks, Aaron. Sounds interesting
    Any idea which species of spider it belongs to. I recalled waiting for almost an hour for the spider to appear after spotting it but no sight of it.

    I suspect a Neogea nocticolor may be the owner of this web.
