A SPIDER STORY—
Saturday, Fogeyisms visits a local spider web; the creation of an orb weaver spider. “Orb weavers” are a family of spiders who construct those commonly seen, generally round webs (orbs). They are constructed anew and often repaired daily after performing their ongoing duty of catching the critter’s rations. The photo at the right is of a considerably abused and likely abandoned web.

This week we will meet a member of that spider family and take a very close look at how it goes about the business of spider life; particularly the meal gathering and preparation process.
