“Once you begin watching spiders, you haven’t time for much else.” E.B. White
Her Net Is Cast Watch out moon, you're much too close, nothing an orb likes more than collecting golden orbs, and though the night is darker now, you shine the clearest path, and she may suddenly dart across her gossamer road and snare you unawares, her net is cast and you are near, beware her hidden smile. ยฉPaul Vincent Cannon
Love both the poem and the picture. A true symbiotic relationship.

That’s a great photo! I sense a metaphor at work in the poem, said the spider to the fly.

Yes, you have said before that you hold such a fear, not unusual I gather, but the orbs are quite harmless and very beautiful.

That is engineering as its best. I really love spiders, but I think I’ll make an exception, for some specimens from Australia. ๐ Like the Sydney funnel-web spider. Michael
