Wondering if it's a capture situation or if it's a reproduction site.

Found this:

Order Araneae .. Family Dictynidae Unknown Species... Mesh-Weaver Spider

This very tiny spider constructed a complex web above the surface of a smilax leaf. As shown in the second photograph, the tension of the silk strands appear to have pulled the edges of the leaf together. At the center of each triangle of webbing, there is a clump of silk. Perhaps this is an egg sac or silk that is wound around captured prey.

On the surface of the leaf, there is a layer of fine webbing. The spider was sitting on top of this fine webbing when these photographs were taken on December 12, 2012.

[So the purpose seems unclear also to the writers of the above.]

I think you found it.

I copied images from that website and pasted it into the message... disappointed it did not "hold". Was too easy, I guess.

I think the site is having problems. I tried to post yesterday and it would not go on the site. Gave up after 3rd try.
