Well, I'm wondering if the spider is very patient . . . or just dead. He's not moved in 4 days. Tomorrow if he's still in the same position, I may just poke something in his web just enough to make him move . . . if he's alive.
UPDATE: To answer Gill's question . . . He scampered to the corner of his web when I stuck a flower right next to him. I'm glad he's alive and not dead.

If I hear a shriek tomorrow I'll know what has happened!! :lookaround:
Yikes! He doesn't look shriveled up or like he is dead to me....be careful...I hate spiders! ...
There is one just like this above the walkway to our doctor's office. But the wind is up and if we have a little thunderstorm, it might drive him inside someplace. Then he'll have to rebuild his web all over again. I hope this one catches lots of mosquitos.

4 days and not moving! Either that is one very patient spider or it has died. But it does not look dead so be carefull if you try to disturb it
Inquiring minds want to know what happened with the web poking experiment?? :p
Spider pics are great. I like spiders, but everyone else in the family considers them personal enemies and kills each one sighted. I hang bath rugs over the rib on the bathtub so they can make their way to freedom. I don't even take down the summer webs until knat season is over (unless they are very evident) I would much rather have a discreet spider and web than those annoying gnats, that can get in right through the screens on a summer night.
