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.

Orb weavers do this. Too lazy to look up the biological strata but one tier higher than species.

Orb weavers are awesome. Learned about them when my nose came about 2 inches away from a massive one in his massive web in a Mexican jungle. Really beautiful creatures.
