Sounds like a lovely date

Preach brother

The rot mold consumes the rot mold consumes

HELL YEAH BROTHER WE ALL NEED A HELPING HAND IN THESE TRYING TIMES I HOPE YPU CAN GET THE SUPPORT YOU NEED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AROOOOOOO

ALSO PLEASE SPEAK UP BROTHER I CAN’T HEAR YOU

And by “today” we mean the last 16 years

I was about to reach the same conclusion, as I couldn’t find any mentions of alternative ways of spinning webs, so thanks for the confirmation!

“Wait, whaat…? That’s amaz-… wait a minute”

Wait, I now have to research how they build their webs then, if not by spinning. Thanks for the trivia!

I see, kinda lazy nomenclature, but I guess with all the different kinds of spiders, at some point you run out of names ahah thanks for the info! I hope they stay because they’ve been eating good, and I appreciate the reduced amount of insects

Yes, the reduced chance of getting prey was the first thing that sprung to mind and I was mainly thinking about how that would mean increased hunger… but the web was getting too large to ignore, so we needed a compromise. Hope the trim won’t affect them too much!

Meaning it’s not going to waste too much energy

That’s good to hear! Thanks for all the info!

Spider has kept insect populations in check and I’m grateful. Plus, they’re cute

Hope you get well soon!

Might also have been a poorly phrased question on my part, since English is not my first language!

Just did it, they curled their legs (I guess to keep stability, maybe?) but now they’re back to the previous relaxed state I always see them in. It was really just a small trim, hopefully small enough not to scare them away lol I appreciated their efforts to keep bothersome insects away so far and I wish for a long-lasting mutually beneficial relationship

Appreciate it! I guess, since it’s just a little trim around the edges, there shouldn’t be problems as you said! If they can survive a relocation they can probably live with a little less web! Thanks!

Thanks! It’s a bit difficult to wait for them to move out, since, at least for what I can tell, they never leave the web. I always found the spider in the same spot lol right now they’re keeping around the middle, so I could trim the edges of the web without directly touching the spider, if that’s what you meant!

That doesn’t look like my friend at all lol

This one here looks very much similar to my friend (thin and long body): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pholcidae

No idea why there’s multiple animals called all the same way though
