The spider certainly has to have patience waiting for its prey.

kaykuala, thanks for visiting!

thanks, Rekha!

i guess so, but the web they spin will have to be more complex. :)

I don't like spiders in my space, but I do admire their web artistry. It takes some patience to spin all that silk...

Excellent response to the prompt.
