Spiders are predators, they can help reduce insect population in the garden and a viable alternative to the use of some pesticides. They can trap and or eat insects, bugs, and other pests.[i.e. moth, flies]. Amor est vitae essentia. Love is the essence of life.

Once in a while something gets caught in the web and she eats it but she's probably been there a month now (I posted pictures a while back) and she's always right there. She's not even spinning any more web now. I need to look this up.

I guess it's because we have too many trees that we have webs everywhere. In the morning when it's dark and I feed the dog and cat I wave my arms around in front of me like a crazy person to hopefully knock down the webs as I walk in the yard.
