The Spider

The spider is a wee creature yet she catcheth her weight in bugs.
A cobweb in the corner is better than RaidTM in the air.

Serious scientific studies have observed that orb weavers, e.g., capture approximately their own body weight in insects over a period of five days.

  1. I have spiders, cobwebs, bug, mice, grain moths, dust bunnies, Riley and a woodchuck. Fortunately the last two are still outside the walls. Your arachnid is pretty.

    1. Sharkey, your requirement that the squirrel and the 'chuck remain outside is quite reasonable.

  2. EEEK! I hate spiders. But, I do leave them if they are in an inconspicuous spot catching bugs. But they have to stay there and not climb on the ceiling over my head.

  5. Nope, I mean for the spiders. I do not live in the same house with those critters.

  6. Vee, I thought to tell you when you first posted this that I once read that one is never more than three feet from a spider. Then I didn't. Now I did.
