Second this. Looks like an orb weaver shifting between dimensions to place their surprisingly strong web directly in front of someone’s face as they walk through two objects an arbitrary distance apart.
I had one that would make it’s web from a trees branches to the ground, the diameter was around 10 ft. It was absurd how hard that little gal was working just to catch a meal.
There’s such a huge diversity of Orb Weavers! I love jumping spiders (Salticidae), but Araneidae is a close second.
We had a missus living in a boxwood in front of our house, and she was everything but small. With her legs, she was at least the size of my palm, with beautiful coloring on her thorax and her legs looked almost like she was wearing opera gloves. A bit like the picture below. And, yes, her webs were massive, but hers were out of the way and a bother to no-one except her prey.
