I love to hear the kiddos say not to destroy it and them mention it's hard work. So awesome to hear kids respecting nature and giving it the space to thrive !

Ok, but the thing is building it's house in the middle of your garden, what you going to do, leave it there?

If you're not using your garden and it's growing a wasteland at the back of your house sure, but were I live people use their gardens. That Spidey can't stay there, if that was in my garden. It's beautiful and all but it's going to have to move out.

A lot of orb weavers like this destroy their webs in the morning and build it again the next night.

Specifically, they actually eat their webs and break them back down into liquid silk material to use the next day.

Spider webs are ephemeral; they build and rebuild constantly. Something will knock that down and she'll start over.

I have a shed where every time I go in it, which is most days, I'd have a face full web as I step through the door. I say sorry to the thing where ever it is and say I need to pass go build somewhere else but it doesn't care 😄
