Carry, 
The photo is interesting ( nice resolution!) because it shows at least 3 styles of web. She has the orb web and two kinds of stabilimenta – ” decorative” webbing.” She has the zig zag style and a very fine mesh. “Decorative” means that there isn’t scientific agreement on the reason for the extra webbing.
