I survived Hurricane Ivan. Had over 2 1/2 inches of rain in 30 minutes at one point. Total 10+ inches of rain. Leaks in roof are horrible (except the one over the front door that I fixed myself ;) Thanks to everyone's well-wishes. Wanted to share something really cool I noticed this morning... I'm sitting in my home office on the 2nd story. I noticed a spider web, about a foot across, spanning from the side of my house to a riverbirch tree. It's glistening with raindrops. Amazing that something so delicate can survive 50+mph winds, horizontal pelting rain, and remain completely intact. *No word on the spider of course! (I tried taking a pic but it just doesn't come out - I need Chicalotke to get out here with a ladder to get a better shot!) |

Spider webs are one of nature's true miracles.
It's the creatures that make them that I despise.

Silkworms ain't exactly pretty either ;)
Larvae are worm-like with a short anal horn.
Three distinct body parts: head, thorax, abdomen
Anal Horn?? ::snicker::

Actually, three more trees were down on my next-door neighbor's house... (was on the other side of their house)

I noticed a spider by my door this evening. It will be squished soon.

I dunno if that response would qualify as a 'rise' out of me. It takes more than that.

Depends on what the silk is being used for.
