this do it barbara andrus stirling ontario outdoors spiders can make good garden friends art briggsjude correspondent the web hung like a miniature mist net between the needled branches of a small pine in its closeknitcentre on the end of a heavier zigzag strand a large yellow and black spider seemed ready to be propelled by this coiled spring like ness from the foliage below a grasshopper climbed the tallest stalk of goldenrod to reach the warming sun when the dew had dispersed the brown insect crouched then flexing its powerful back legs leaped through an opening between the evergreen branches the alert spider tensed as he saw the shadowed form approach then sprang into action when the grasshopper hit the web mean while the surprised jumper had managed to get one back leg loose and was in the process of freeing himself when the spider charged quickly grasping the struggling hopper with its front legs the spider began turning its victim over and over soon the whole grasshopper was encased in a mummylike shroud of newlyformed strands of silk now completely immobilized the master weaver paralyzed it with a single bite then carried it to the centre of its web if you walk through uncut fields or took along your garden hedgerows red cross blood donor clinic legion hall stouffville friday october 5th 200 830 pm babysitting provided these days youll probably see this black and yellow argiope spider in its characteristic web with a body length of an inch and such conspicuous bright markings its among our largest and most col orful spiders but unlike the fibres formed from the mouths of silk worms spider web material is produced from glands in the base of the abdomen actually these amazing fibres are insoluble in water and will stretch as much as one quarter their length before breaking in fact the strand from one southern spider is the strongest natural fibre known to man and was formerly used by island natives to fashion fish nets when we begin to give spiders more than just an apprehensive look and find out more about them we realize that all kinds are not web weavers while most spiders do pro duce silk fibres many use it only to create egg cases for their young others form draglines to travel from one perch to another or as in the case of balloon spiders release silken strands into the air until they are lofted away on the strength of a breeze we cant help wonder at the behavior of these small creatures when we discover that they are the only animal besides man that makes traps to capture prey while some species actually throw a snare of silk over their victim oth ers like the bolas spider cast for moths in the manner of an angler using a sticky globule attached to the end of a silk line between the familiar daddy long legs and the ominous black widow spiders there are a whole host of interesting creatures walking on eight legs few spiders will bite humans and all will offer you some fascinating observa tions the funnel weavers that build at the borders of our lawns can be observed closer by tickling the edge of their web with a long straw spiders are an intriguing groups of small creatures that go about their daily task consuming millions of insects without much fanfare the next time you see a spider in your garden stop and look and step around it doing you no harm and doing your plants some good seems a sensible reason for leaving it unmolested
