First MN; Now IL: Grass Spiders

Margaret in Minnesota @ Minnesota Mom posted pictures this week some "spider webs" in her grass. It just so happen that today I happened to see similar webs in my yard. In the course of snapping the pictures I even saw a small cricket type animal hop on the web and a spider jump out of nowhere to get it. Let's just say these grass spiders do indeed move very fast! I wasn't able to catch the movement or spider on camera. It disappeared as fast as it appeared.

Below are the pictures of the webs that I found in my yard.
