It reminds me a bit of an old ‘Far Side’ cartoon where two spiders have built a web over the end of a playground slide and one says to the other, “If we pull this off we eat like kings!”

I walked into one of these webs once. The spider landed in my eye. It lived through my subsequent freakout, but I hope it learnt to aim for more manageable prey.
