In January 2016, an image purportedly showing a frozen spider began making its way around social media: This image was cropped in an attempt to make the spider web appear as if it were of average size and was hanging between two branches of a tree. A frozen spider can still be seen at the bottom of the image, however, which provides a hint at the web's actual (large) size: The photograph purportedly showing the frozen spider web actually depicts an ice sculpture created in 2011 by a Kenyan journalist and a sculptor, Michael Kaloki, and Timo Koivisto of Finland, for the Art Meets Ice competition at the Helsinki Zoo: Kaloki and Koivisto won first prize in the couple's competition that year with their sculpture of a spider and its web.
