It built the most beautiful web in the far corner and feasted on dumb flies that always flew there.

My boys used to bring in their friends to see "Mom's pet spider"..We would sometimes stun flies & flip them into the web just to watch it scamper up the web

I never saw it outside its web..and then one day it disappeared forever..
