Afternoon Aki, and welcome to WAB! 
First-off, is this in the UK? If so, there are some caterpillars that can communally create large web-like structures - possibly some kind of Ermine moth. See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...high-bush.html
Take care, Jason

Hmm, "metre across", "very strong", "funnel" - I wouldn't get too close!
