Developing spider amidst it's ancient 'ancestors'.

    This is an interesting clip from "Manhattan". It seems to show a large and a small developing spider on an older very eroded spider network. I would imagine very very many years separate the old from the new, and I wonder why there was such a long period without spider formation. Fascinating!! ~pete.

    Interesting. Though frame the image it's hard to tell if there spider morphology changed and these were all formed at the same time or if as you proposed that the large feature is newer.

    Cheers,
