Spiders and their webs are fascinating. About a month ago, my son and I were chasing butterflies for his collection and of course in the early fall the spiders have webs everywhere since all the bugs are moving at that time. We kept coming upon webs with live grasshoppers in them. The spiders would crawl up and within no more than 30 seconds the grasshopper would be encased in web. Amazing, the speed and the volume of web coming out of one spider.

Actually it's not the webs that bother me, it's those eight long skinny furry legs and front mandibles. And the scurrying. Actually, it's the webs, too.
