I’ll be honest with you guys, I never cared much for spiders. Not until I found out about the peacock spider and let me tell you, I am a fan now. At least in the sense of appreciating them and respecting Mother Nature even more.

Spider Quotes

“The spider’s web: She finds an innocuous corner in which to spin her web. The longer the web takes, the more fabulous its construction. She has no need to chase.

Spiders – so needed and yet so misunderstood.”

― Neil Gaiman

Suck out that bug’s juices!”
