The construction of a Spider wheel web













I am a curious kinda person. Since we are here in Ottawa, I see many spiders around. Yes even in our condo. Luckily, they don't scare me but somewhat gross me out. They like to sit on our big window (on the outside!!) Since we are 21 floors high I can't clean those windows. Therefore a good rain with an eastern wind is always welcome for this Dutch gal. I remember as a little girl not even ten having to wash the windows every week. Something like that sticks in your mind like a spiderweb, hahaha!
So have a look at this link I posted, very educational, especially for kids!

Many people think spiders are dangerous creatures that should be wiped away with a cloth, sucked up in the vacuum cleaner or smashed with a newspaper. That is not wise because spiders play a very important role in our Eco-system. They catch many annoying and harmful insects, are not destructive and are therefore useful creatures.

ge.When I was teaching at at Senecax college, If a student saw a spider on the wall, I would have to stop the class and get rid of the spider. If I didn't I would lose the attention of the majority of the class
