Cobwebs



Besides when you are cleaning around the house do you ever notice spider webs? Sometimes things that we see everyday can be amazing if you take the time to really look at them. Last week I was working the in the barn and for some reason looked up and noticed all the webs that were hanging down from the ceiling. I go in the barn everyday but stuff like webs would be one of the last things I normally look at. The shear number of webs was astounding. I read once that the only webs you actually see are the abandoned ones since new webs are nearly invisible. When the sticky fibers of the web start to collect dust they become useless to the spiders and visible to humans. Because the strands of the web are super strong they can hang for years.
