I find it odd how the spider knows the insects he enjoys for dinner have wings and will become caught in his web when they attempt to fly by.
He does not have wings, so how does he know about wings and flight?
Is the information handed down through generations over time, and if so, who was the first to discover it, and think – I should write this down, it may be important.
And just what makes his web sticky? Is it like Post-it note glue. A bug can become stuck to it, but then easily removed when needed, leaving no unsightly mark on the wall of the web.
I also find it clever how the design of the spider is somehow appropriate
to the number and arrangement of legs, for walking across the great open areas
of the web. I’ve yet to see a spider
slip or get tripped up or fall when crossing.
Impressive, in a creepy sort of way.
