Is this spider torture? Sean and I threw several pieces of Pirate's Booty up into the web this guy has built over my sink. I'd never seen a spider really work, you know? He wrapped this piece of fluff up and tossed it out of his web in less than a minute. I wish I had a fly to offer instead, but, alas, no. I wonder how long they can live without sustenance? Do they insist on staying the course even if the position they've put themselves is detrimental? Or do they cut and run knowing that, ultimately, surviving is more important than saving face amongst their spider peers?
