A spider web

Some early morning dew had caused this spider web on top of a watch tower to look pretty with tiny water droplets highlighting it's complex structure. I've been very impressed with the design, strength and purpose in the spider webs! This was a medium sized one, but large ones make me feel scared.

How amazing a spider could design such a lovely web and nature gives it her touches too. And it's practical too - it may look dainty but is quite strong!

I wonder how many insects have been caught in it.

@pitstop I don't know, but those insects are probably not too happy about that web

The spiders or the web? Both can be pretty.

Yeah seems the water vapor has exposed the web too which means less insects will be trapped in it since it is visible to them.

That's an interesting thought. I never thought of that.

@pitstop But when dew dries up they would be invisible again to flying insects and it will serve its purpose once again.

When they are outside I let them there, spiders eat mosquitoes and other bugs.

Outside i just let them stay. Indoors, i don't like them when they cause a lot of cobwebs.

Spiders love my car. They must think of my car as a 5 star hotel or something.

My bike is now a spider web haven! I haven't used it for a month.

@pitstop How dare they, right? (We should charge those - some sort of fees!)

@pitstop I had once seen a huge spider web on a window of an abandoned house at the outskirts of my town.

I knock all of them down near my house. I do not want a spider in my house.

Inside the house, the webs are a nuisance.

I don't kill spiders because they are useful. I am not bothered when I see them.

I don't like them in cobwebs at home. Outside, i just let them be.
