I've just though she has been around for ages and I haven't given her a name.

What shall I name her?

Sometimes she is just hanging there on one thread. She has done since yesterday. No web.

:(

She died sometime last night or this morning. I suppose it was inevitable sooner or later. I don't feel sad as such, more slightly numb and annoyed.

She was a character and reminded me of someone.

I definitely think I want to keep spiders now.

Was VERY fortunate in witnessing the capture of a fly and its being caried off for consumption by a precious spider. Man, I do love them.

Their webs are the strongest fibre in the natural world. Can anyone vouch for this? It's a rumour I heard.......

Ah, man, I'm sorry to hear that. :( She kept you company for quite a while! Even that spider that was on my lamp (a perfect spot for continuous meals) didn't hang around that long (though I think my son kept messing with him). I wonder how long spider season is going to be here where I live (Pacific NW)? Most of the summer insects have kind of gone away (I think?) but my cabin still has very large garden spiders all over it. It being nearly November now, I didn't expect to still be seeing spiders all over the place.

Good fortune,

Thanks mate. Yeh it is getting pretty cold now. If there is no food for it is going to die soon or later.

If you do keep spiders just don't feed them toxic waste, lol (sorry, just like Eight Legged Freaks an awful lot)

Seriously though it sounds like an interesting thing to do is keep spiders, so go for it :)
