I haven't seen Garden spiders in a few years, but this year they
seem to have had a resurgence.
I had this big beautiful intricate web strung between a Japanese
Maple and a Rhododendron. It was about 2' across. My wife
accidentally walked through it and destroyed it.
The next day, there was another great web between the rear view
mirror and the door latch end on my truck with an anchor going down
to the driveway. I felt bad destroying it so I could move my
truck. I'm looking around for another that I can photograph.



I broke one support line on a web the other day. It was fascinating
to watch the spider replace the damaged support. It took him about 2
minutes. Over to the damage. Up the web to the deck. Across the deck
to where the broken support had been. Back across the deck, down the
web to the damaged spot. Done.

For the record, I kill nor harm any animals (especially mammals), nor
bugs, insects, or anything not a plant.


Then do yourself a favor and never look at the grill of your
automobile..it might put you over the edge...

I have, and if there is a dead bird in there, I get mad that I killed
it. I have killed baby bunnies that were left by their mother in a small
hole in my lawn that would not have held a softball, with my mower, and
felt bad all day. I feel for anything I kill by accident. I do not kill
anything on purpose.
However, I must say, that there are many humans that I would kill
without a second thought.
