Possibly breakfast in bed when it wakes up
That seems like a weird place to hibernate doesn’t it? 🤔
- Or a genius one? It wasn't moving so the spider might have assumed it's dead and will soon draw lots of flies 🤔
Imagine waking up and there's just an absolute feast surrounding you.
Is it really hibernating or just dormant from overnight chill? Seems like it's in a place that will heat up for basking once the sun is out. Many spiders do build their webs at night.
Weaving together your little home on the slumbering body of an angry giant.

Awesome.
What kind of frog is that I've only known about frogs that hibernate by burrowing into swamp or river beds
