To find a spiderweb on the UMass campus, I had to go through many trials and errors. The first spiderweb I found was too small for my phone to recognize. I had to go search for a bigger (more-defined) spider web. After a few days of searching, I found a spider web on the side of the Lederle Graduate Research center. On the section facing the main road (N Pleasant St), there was a spider web at about hip height. Photographing this web was quite difficult. I had to try to photograph it at several angles, with and without flash. I found that flash worked the best in making the web visible on in my photo. I had to angle the phone so that the camera was parallel to the main part of the spider web. (Addendum --- In addition to the spider web picture, I found a picture of the Lederle Graduate Research Center building (from the UMass Amherst website -- https://www.umass.edu/llc/lcc/lcc) on which the spider-web was on. This was to better show the location of the spider web in addition to providing a guide as to which side of the building the web was on.
To create the figure, I gathered the location of the spider web on openmaps.eu, my photos of the spider web, and the picture of the Lederle Graduate building and put them in the inkscape app. I put the map on the top, the photo of the web on the bottom rights side, and the Graduate Building on the left bottom side. Then, I created labels to point out where the location of the spider web was, on both the map, and the pictures of where the web was. I labeled the map A in red font, the picture on the bottom right B in red font, and the picture on the bottom left C in red font. The organization of this was mainly to highlight the locations, starting from the furthest, the map to the closes, an actual picture of the spider web.
