Cool Spider Web Pic

Lali1 — Wed, 30 Sep 2020 22:08:27 GMT

I had no idea where to post this but I wanted to share. I was on my morning walk with my pups last weekend and caught this. As much as some find spiders creepy they really do beautiful spinning work.

Cute! I once vaccummed up a spider. Problem was it had tons of babies on it's back that went everywhere. You've never seen anyone vacuum so fast. It was horrifying.

I'm pretty sure it's the work of a crab spider. Of all spiders they are the least creepy to me.

When vacuuming up spiders always use a powerful vacuum. I was using one of the cheap ones you can only use on a hard floors. Not much suction with them.

And empty the bin outside before they can crawl out. LOL!

I have a spider living outside the door to my deck. I can't go out that way because I don't want to ruin his home. Spiders are kinda creepy, but they sure do keep the pesty bugs in check. I know he's gotten a couple of the spotted lantern flies in his clutches. I try not to bother them. If they're big, I'll catch them in a tissue and put them outside.

These webs are but another of nature's creations which amaze!

I was born and raised in a city but spent many many summers at the country where I saw so many different insects . We had, As we called them ,Daddy Long Legs which were in abundance! Spiders never bothered me because of my country experiences with nature. I am aware some are dangerous and of course stay far from them!!!!

Thanks for the picture!!!!!!

When i was a kid, I found this little white round ball, picked it up and kinda squished it. Turned out it was a spider egg sac. Hundreds of tiny spider came out of it. Talk about doing the crazy dance.

I have always been terrified of spiders to the point I didn't want to visit my grandmother because her bathroom was attached to the outside of her house and there were always spiders in it.

I know they are beneficial and since I garden I have learned to live and let live, but I still don't want to have them in the house. Nor do I want to walk into a web.

The ones with the really thick webs are the wolf spiders. I saw one once glistening with dew anchored to part of our magnolia tree and then to the ground.

Oh good grief 🥺That is horrifying and would scar someone for life. I like spiders to an extent because they kill roaches I'll take spiders any day over roaches. Where I live they are giant and fly 😵

@FastDogWalker2 & @Lali1 those are some cool web pictures!

Back when I worked in a hotel restaurant, there was a big spider who was spinning a massive web on the other side of the glass (outside) of our floor to ceiling windows.

Word got around, and every morning people requested to be seated facing 'the spider window' while they ate their breakfasts.

That spinning spider was fascinating to watch, and a unique way to start their day.

They really are so cool to watch when they're spinning.

Why? they aren't hurting you and spiders do a good job of keeping insects etc. out of our dwellings.

I'm not crazy about spiders--all those legs really creep me out--but I'm a "live and let live" person. If they don't bother me, I leave them alone.

What?? One or two spiders is one thing. Who wants 50 to 100 in their home? I have pets.
