An Intelligent Spider
July 12th, 2006
A spider has adopted our bathroom window for its web. In a heavy rain or particularly windy days its web can get pretty trashed, but the spider never lacks for food there. The insects are attracted to the light through the window and get stuck in the web. Even if they manage to get to the screen in the window, when they leave there are good chances that they will be caught on the way out as well.
The trick now will be making sure that I keep an eye out for egg sacks, since I do not want a lot of baby intelligent spiders in my bathroom. I will either have to keep the window shut or else get rid of the web if I see it sporting an egg sack at any point.
