They build giant webs at night and love porches and door frames. I had one for weeks outside my side porch last year. She would spend an entire night building these enormous, perfect, beautiful webs and then tear them down and built another. I could only see her at night and I got really attached to her. I was so proud of her I would always bring my house guests out to see her work. Unfortunately this year, nothing.
