The reason Nicolas and I went to Tashiding was because of an old monastery from the sixteenth century on the top of a mountain near the village. On the way up, we saw vast spiderwebs with up to 20-30 spiders in it. Nicolas said he heard about these spiders on a documentary. They are social spiders, and when they're done eating what they can get in one area, they move on as a group and make new vast webs somewhere else. This one here was one of the bigger ones, at least three and a half to four inches big.
