Re: Lots and lots of babies


I haven't been in touch with her for quite a while. As for the spider, she is helping keep the yellow jacket population down. Her web is right near two nests. I periodically stir them up so that she gets several at a time.

Re: Lots and lots of babies


Actually by keeping the spider "well-fed" you are insuring that it stays right where it is! emoticon
Do you know that in some countries, having a spider build it's web over a door frame is considered good luck....and the Pueblo Nations of America believe that Spider Woman created the Universe. The Greeks and Norse looked upon Spiders as the Weavers of people’s fates and connecting the Past with the Future. emoticon
And for Christians in Germany, Spider Webs are a part of Christmas tree decorations. According to folklore, Spider realized what glorious day was Christ’s birth. So She spun silver and gold webs on trees to show her faith and to glorify the Birth of the Lord.
It's good to at least get along with them... emoticon

It's really cool to know that there is folklore about spiders as well as butterflies. I may have to start a topic about that.

Could be fun.......besides those afraid of Spiders may learn that they do more good than harm.. emoticon

Here is where I got that info above from...I have always been taught that Spiders are usually a good omen, but this sort of stated it more simply.....

Now there are baby spiders too. I've never seen a garden spider so small. It's a wonder that the mom doesn't get them.
