Spiders

["Alan Gillanders" <>]

G'day,
We have an unlined patio roof with many Black House Spiders building webs 
where the battons and joists meet. These webs are useful for nest building 
birds but the real action occurs on hot days. The spiders are driven out of 
their web funnels onto the flat part of the web or sometimes even leave the 
web altogether. Then the birds have a field day!
Just for the record I really like spiders but know less about them than many 
animal groups. Would love to rediscover the Catterpillar-dropping Spider 
found by one of my students; it seems to be unknown to science.
Regards,
Alan
