I once watched a cicada molt and that takes quite some time. I agree 100% that the beauty in things like this should be appreciated. I don’t think you’re nuts.

So, you are right, and I have loved this insect since I lived in Port Jefferson, graced by it's beautiful large webs. I know you will think I'm nuts, but I literally watched it weave it's web for a few hours. It was amazing. I swear I wished I could have filmed it. The way it moved so quickly in creating it, sheer poetry. Creation is a beautiful thing and this spider is to be apprectiated. Carolyn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_spider

From what I understand they'll bite if threatened, but they are not dangerous like the brown recluse. I think you’re right, it is a barn spider.

That's one of the best webs I've ever seen. I just had to take a picture of it. As for the shot itself, well, I took a lot of pics before I had something I was happy with. (Thank God for digital cameras.) Thanks… That’s one of the best webs I’ve ever seen. I just had to take a picture of it.
