I got in the car at the weekend and there was a really big and very impressive spider web the size of my steering wheel right in front of my face, anchored on the rear view mirror, gear stick and steering wheel. Sorry Spidey, but I can't drive with that in my face, so I had to destroy it.
Monday morning Mrs. S and I are going fishing. We get in the car and Spidey has built another masterpiece, but this time on the passenger side. Mrs. S doesn't want me to break the web because she likes spiders. Sadly for Spidey, one of his anchor points is the gear stick again, so as I go into gear I break his anchor line and part of the web is messed up. Spidey gets all the sympathy and I'm in the dog house now. I try telling Mrs. S that no way is Spidey going to catch anything in his web in the car anyway, so I'll evict him when we arrive in the countryside later. She's not convinced.
Anyway, on the drive, Mrs. S is enthralled as Spidey comes out from behind the sun visor and proceeds to gather up his entire web. I've never seen this before, and have no idea why he did it. Do they actually recycle the silk in some way?
When we park up to go fishing he's not visible, so I leave him alone. When we come back to the car that evening, he's built yet another web and this time he's sat in the middle of it. Sorry Spide, but it's time to go for your own good. He now lives in a nice wooded area where there actually are insects to catch.
