This could have been handled by email, but the reply address of the
person asking for more information about the spider wouldn't work.
"9210946@cuslm.ca@jupiter.Sun.CSD.unb.ca", you should check with your
system administrator to find out why your return address doesn't work.
I don't think it should have two "@" characters.

Here is what I wanted to send you, might be of interest to others
also:


It has been almost twenty years since I saw it, but as I remember it,
it was a dark colored spider (probably black), with a body of about 2
or 3 millimeters in diameter, about 1 cm diameter with legs.  The web
had a radial structure, about the size of the palm of your hand, and
had only one web ball anchor, the other anchors being to stuff on the
bank of the small creek.  This was in Athens, Georgia, which is in
northern Georgia not too far from the foothils of the Appalachians,
about 60 miles northeast of Atlanta.  The web ball floater was about 3
mm in diameter.
                                                                             
Hope this helps your identification.  Of course, I would be interested
in hearing about any other spiders which use a similar web anchoring
technique.
