Questions about new webbing

[sideradmirer84637]

What kind of spiders might make a long string of web from two tall poles. I touched it lightly with a blade of grass to draw it out and it didn't stick, curious I touched it with my fingertips and it wasn't sticky at all. It was very fine and barely visible I count feel it when I touched it. I live in West Virginia in America. I can get a picture too but probably not until tommorrow because I'm busy today.

It may just be the starting of an orb web that isn't finished yet, or abandoned. How far apart are the poles?

One was a pole and one was like a wood support for a deck that could be described as a pole, I would guess about 10-15 feet apart. In the past I have found line webs like this attacked to a tree and a pole to the front porch of my house but now it's in the back. Last time was about a year ago when I noticed it also about 10-15ft apart.

May also be a larvae. Numerous insects in the tropics leave those drop lines around. Very common around here. In fact I'm looking at one out the window. Was hoping it was the start of a web but no luck.
BTW, guy lines of spider webs are almost never sticky but sometimes for reasons I don't know they may use a sticky spinneret coupled with a guy line.

Maybe we do get a lot of inchworms too and I've noticed them make silk lines, but we don't really live in the tropics what do you mean by that.

Thinking... You don't have anywhere near the number of web making bugs in the temperate climes. But seeing single random lines just dangling in the breeze anywhere, I'd suspect caterpillar or other larvae more than a spider. Spiders can control when and where with their webbing, the other invertebrates can't
