The spiders needing moving before I mowed the lawn yesterday as
they've made webs all round the bushes and hedges. Some of the web
felt really tough to break though!
Either that or I was feeling particularly weak yesterday. Some pretty
big spiders too. (Orb ones I think with huge backsides!)

They'd also reclaimed across the front path (just a couple of threads)
within an hour of my son going through it this morning. Should I be
worried about how many we have round here yet?



On the allotment this morning I spent some time watching a spider build its
web. The radial bit was in place and the spider was going round and out from
the centre. It grabbed a radial and pulled it towards itself, attached silk
from it's rear then moved on. Fascinating. I often sit and watch the bees
going round the French Marigolds. Ain't nature great?!

It is.
I love watching bugs.
I prefer it when I can snap spiders web easily though.
