Spiders of Ceylon Build Vast Yellow Webs in Mountains
In the Ceylon mountains a spider spins a vast yellow silk web with a central net five feet across. Its supporting lines reach ten to twelve feet. The bite is powerful yet not venomous, and the spider often traps larks and lizards. The body is gold or scarlet beneath and slate colored above. The spider coils threads over a victim’s head to blind and choke it, leaving skeletal remains of small birds in dark jungle nooks.
