It was late last night. I saw a spider working really hard on making her web. She was crafting it extra detailed, so I think that it means that the spider is probably poisonous. Harvest was supposed to be the cinemadirector (that’s a new position in the industry that I just made up for her). But she was making too much noise. So I had to quiet the set.
One of the cool things about spiders, is that they seem to show a great deal of precision when they make their webs. Her little legs would all work in unison as she would put the silk in the proper position.
It must have been fun for the spider to make her web near the lamp. She likes to work at night, but then she gets the best of both worlds. The spider gets the benefit of a quiet and relaxing night…but then she also has a little working light. The light also doubles as a showcase spotlight when she finished her work.
Sometimes it gets emotional to see spiders. They do such hard work, but since they are so little, only a few notice their craftsmanship. That’s why I wanted to share this video. So maybe a few of us can appreciate.
Her name is Mochi-Faliaxia III and she is new to America. She came in a basket of oranges from Romania. Her favorite movies are Speed 2, The Last Picture Show and Unforgiven.
If you’d like to know more about her then watch the video below. That’s because everything you need to know is for show in her work. It is her living auto-biography.
