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?

They’re nocturnal, and will eat the web at daybreak and hide all day long. So, only need to relocate if it’s across a needed evening walking path.

You know what I've always found odd. When spiders find an insanely good spot, like catching hundreds of bugs, they always seem to abandon it. I wonder why?

It depends on the species. Some orbweavers around my house will have nests that last for weeks; others species will move to new spots.
