My question is, where does all that web come from??? I somehow got a small garden spider indoors and then moved it out to the porch, where it tried to take up residence. Little did it know I'd be inadvertently messing up all its hard work every time I went out on my porch to have coffee, check on/water plants, etc. And sure enough, the next day there'd be a whole lot of newly spun web to get messed up by me.
So how does a little spider kick out that much web?! How?!?!?! On a side note, maybe a well-placed spider web can help with the leaf hoppers you mention in another post?
