Have you noticed that there seem to be a lot more spiders and spider webs than normal this fall? Some experts are suggesting that the mild winter combined with a wet summer has created the perfect environment for spider food (insects) and so, more spiders. There is no quantitative study to verify this idea but it sure feels true to me. Spiders are good for my garden--they eat lots and lots of insect pests. I have to remind myself of this truth every time I find myself engulfed in one of my friend's sticky webs.
