Doesn't it always? Woberto next time you see a redback's web, take a second look. It's a set of thick lines of silk, so it will catch larger things. Lots of strings if you like, roughly parallel, but not a normal web.

Explanation for everyone else: one of the horrors of Australia, just run of the mill.
