Social spiders

Social spiders have constructed a very large web up in the tree tops on the trail going to the reception center. It's been awhile since I've seen these webs and I've never seen them up this high. My guess is that the trees are in the 20+ meters range. Here's a good reference, if you'd like more details about social spiders:
