What is so appealing about.....

I've had the same "problem" but I don't remember it happening in previous years.

Do others think it's just this year?

Getting the milk in in the morning can be sticky. When the DGC are here it's their job. They are small enough to creep under them.

Love these cobwebs. When little, DD called the spider "Marjorie"; it was well beloved...

Once drove past a field of cut corn, when the sun was low, the cobwebs shimmered like silk over the entire field. It was magic. Also love cobwebs with frost on them. Just like cobwebs - you can imagine the state of my house!

Love your description of the webs in the field grandMattie. I think the lived-in webs are spiders' webs and the abandoned ones cobwebs. My little grandson found a couple of the latter in my hall and asked what they were! I explained that they used to belong to a little spider, and thst it had spun another one somewhere else. I hoped that talking about spiders in a friendly way would help him not to be afraid of them. Later I removed the dusty remains from the ceiling and vowed to look upwards more often.

Thank goodness for this post. I never knew others had the same problem. Thought they were out to get me.

My DGS calls them Mr Skinny legs and gets quite upset when they move out!
We had a whole nursery one year in our porch
They were there one minute and gone the next.

I think I'm going to set up RSPCS!
People hosing spiders and then laughing!!
Would they do that to say butterflies?

Cherrytree59 if you visit Australia be very very afraid .....

Actually, knowing the different between poisonous and non-poisonous is very helpful. However, even non-poisonous ones can pack a powerful bite!

One in the UK once bit someone I know and it was quite painful (just an ordinary house spider!).

difference!

They are definitely living in my right wing mirror but seem to shelter BB behind it when I start the engine!
