I cleaned away a spiderweb from the top of the kitchen window. A fat spider fell to the sill and lay upside down waggling her legs in the air. I felt guilty!
Five minutes later she had righted herself, climbed back up the window frame and started spinning again. This was definitely a Robert the Bruce moment, and I couldn’t bear to move her again.
“Such persistence deserves reward
her web by me will be ignored.”
Bit like the bumblebees nesting under the eves by our front door. I told hubby to leave them – bumble bees are good.
Plus your persistent spider might catch a persistent fly.
It would seem that the hot weather has encouraged our house spiders Ruth. My laptop visitor has headed away up the wall to who knows where?
I have a plethora of spiders in my home at the moment. Their webs appear in all sorts of different places that I have never seen before and I find myself having to look very carefully to wipe away the webs.
Much nicer than all those nasty chemicals in fly-sprays… Also at the moment in our house some of the webs disguise themselves as cracks in the wall… After the 4.6 magnitude shake 2 weeks ago I was annoyed to find a fresh crack – only to discover that it was in fact a spiders-web!
Well, I’m obviously not alone in sheltering spiders. Let’s hope we all have fly-free homes now.
I so know that guilty feeling. I have a resident eight legged friend in the corner of my window. She catches lots of flies who end up banging against the pane. I don’t mind her being there, but I dont like the distressed flies leaving their poo on my window-sill underneath the web. EEyew.
