Okay, I’ll admit that there are some very beautiful spiderwebs and that there are some amazingly gorgeous spiders. I’m only okay with seeing spiders in pictures though.

But a dewy spiderweb in the morning is lovely.

Of course I like you, **leechbabe**! And your whole leechy family, too! It’s the horrible amorphous squirmy kind I can’t stand!

Spiderwebs are incredible, aren’t they? And so ingenious. I had a spider once who built a web across the corner of the lid of my mailbox, so that it would stay quite intact and healthy when you opened the mailbox and even put mail in it. I gave that one extra points for engineering ingenuity.
