    Everywhere. So dim too. Garden spiders always stick their webs right over doors. I get fed up with crawling underneath trying not to damage them. I do not always succeed and then I feel guilty for hours.
    While having breakfast at the B&B I noticed outside what looked like a large black grape suspended in mid-air, and then it started moving ...

    On looking outside later, where it had been, there was the biggest spider's web I've ever seen, a good five feet across, with "guy ropes" about ten feet long, no word of a lie! It could have practically caught a pigeon.

    How do the critters get their webs _started_, without using a miniature helicopter to at least get the framework anchored to widely spaced (and mutually inaccessible as far as I could see) points?

      They come indoors about this time of the year looking for somewhere dry and warm.

      They are silly feckers because most of them dry out and die. Especially as they make webs in places where they are just as likely to catch a train as anything to eat.

        I recall reading something on a website about spiders saying they can survive eating crumbs and bits of food dropped by humans. Oh wait....that was mice.

          Must be big spiders if they eat mice! Mind you, how many humans drop their mice?
