Spring has sprung, which means young life abounds…and is rapidly eaten🤪
.
A recent study estimated that each year the prey spiders eat outweighs all people on earth.
.
Or, if spiders would cooperate(and we were to sit very still) they could eat us all and still be hungry.
.
The more likely scenario is the spiders eating each other down to a few(zillion) very well fed stomachs.
.
This is breathtaking to watch, and with so many spiders, you can probably find one pretty close by to observe. That makes me happy ☺️
.
The best places for spiders(and people) are complex environments supporting a diversity of life. The antithesis to “modern” gardens. .
.
Creating habitat in your backyard, or pushing for a new look at public landscaping, will help keep the miracle of life alive and nearby to be admired. .
