Why are there more spider webs in the morning than there are during the rest of the day?

I’ve noticed that if I get up really early in the morning and walk around, there are always a ton of spider webs in the woods. The dew catches them and they’re really beautiful. But later in the day they are gone.

They are gone. It isn’t that they’re just harder to see. I made a study of it one day. At dawn I went for a walk, and noted the locations of ten of these webs. Around noon I went back, but I only found one of the webs. I could not find any trace of the others.

I don’t know what kinds of spiders these were. They were in the woods in upstate New York.

Where do they go?
