It’s kind of amazing to think that these little tiny animals can be so efficient, productive, and even smart in their own way.

Spiders are amazing. However, they scare the living shit out of me. I like the big argiopes that live hereabouts because they’re strictly outdoor spiders, and I do not run the risk of one being in my house, or, God forbid, BEING ON ME.

Except, some years ago, we had this one giant argiope that decided that the porch of my house looked like a super frame for a web. Right across the front. We would dismantle the web in the morning, and the spider would come back while we were at work, and rebuild it. This went on for weeks. I lived in terror of leaving the house in a hurry and walking into the spider.
