| The simple eloquence of nature is captured in
the above picture! A simple creature made this web you see here. A lonely spider needs a place to gather supper, a sort of "trap" made for holding in place small hapless insects happening to travel across the web. |
| This web was hung off someone's clothesline,
and anchored to trees and the ground. This creation was the result of some marvelous work! This kind of home construction project that is inherent in spider life does not require an architect to design, or a contractor to set up, nor is it necessary to get a building permit, property easement, etc!! :) All it took was a set of spinnarets in the spider's abdomen to distribute the silken thread, and some special " spit" to cement the silken web attachments and components at all the right places in the "home". To make it all happen as a "choreographed natural whole", each spider has been equipped - even from birth - with wonderful "software" programming "code pre-installed" into the creature's tiny "Silk installing chipset" segment of the arachnoid CPU" unit to create these web spun masterpiece again and again! The results are amazingly consistent! |
| The web pictured had to go down after the photoshoot, as it interfered with some human functionality, re the clothesline.. |

What is neat about the spiders is this: that if they are allowed to go about their lives, after their webs are de-constructed with the sweep of a broom, they proceed to create the same homes again, with some customized anchorages depending on where the webs are started. The pattern of spokes and anchorages repeat their design, depending on the type of spider(s) that made the web(s)!! Simply awesome !!!! ©¿©¬ Enjoy :) ©¿©¬ |
