 Spiders
Look closely and you will see a small dark brown spider with a cone-shaped abdomen in the midst of the debris.
Cyclosa conica likes to camouflage herself and her egg sac in this way.
Walking beneath trees in our garden or on woodland paths we may have met another small orb-weaver when we ran face first into an unseen web.

 Spiders at Brazos Bend 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
This spider, an orb weaver, is a member of the Cyclosa genus.
There's also a Cyclosa conica (not listed in Texas that I can find), but I can't find anything to compare the two.
The Cyclosa leave remnants of past meals in theirs (I've seen the name "Trashline Orbweaver" associated with this spider elsewhere.) The spider, as you can see, sits at the end of its string of egg sacs, and at the top of its stabilimentum--sort of at the junction between the two types of "web junk".

In 2000 we did some work for Dr Mark Shaw (National Musems of Scotland, Edinburgh) to try and locate a very rare parasitoid wasp.
The wasps's only known host is a spider called Cyclosa conica and the resident warden spent many days gently beating trees to dislodge spiders and examine them.
Eventually a spider was caught with a parasitoid attached and the wasp reared out.
