Sily, that's funny about your spider. It is now a celebrity. I have a tiny house spider which has built a web from the base of my lamp on my desk to one of my speakers. I don't have the heart to remove the web. It hides under the base of the lamp and will scurry out when a small bug becomes caught in its web, usually at night when I have my lamp on and the windows are open. These tiny gnats make it through the screens and are attracted to my lamp. There's also a tiny spider which lives in the bathroom and has a web attached to the night light.
Avatar, it's fun talking about insects, bugs and arachnids. Every year I discover new ones. Oh, and trees. I love trees! There is a healthy five hundred year old white oak not far from here (that's old for the northeast of U.S.) and the massive bottom limbs dip down and touch the ground before reaching for the sky. I would love to have a tree like that in my yard.
I have watched spiders come out at night at a cottage on a lake and quickly build new webs on the open porch if the porch light is left on.
