Spider

Not absolutely my favourite animal, spiders are a most interesting life form.
This one builds her web in wide open spaces.
She sits there and waits for a strong wind, which  she uses to be blown considerable distances, while producing a long thread. Having reached the other side of her intended span she fastens the thread to a bush, returns to the halfway mark and starts to spin her net.
At least the width of two car tracks and high up enough, so that we actually drove underneath this deadly trap.
