During our vacation to our cabin rentals, we were so fascinated watching this spider build his web in front of our eyes. This Orb Spider built his spider web in between two chain pulls coming down from our outside porch Light Fan. We noticed the night before that his web looked kind of torn up, so he decided to build a sturdier web. We watched this spider as small bugs flew into his web. He immediately scurried down to the newly caught bug, and started spinning the bug in the web that was there. He then secreted more web (from his web hole.... I don't know what the scientific name for it is) and was wrapping the bug even more. Before you knew it, the caught bug was wrapped up like a little "Bug Mummy." The next morning we would visit the spider web, and it was missing a bunch of web pieces and we saw him resting on the fan. The next night, the process started all over again. During our visit, we called him our "Pet Spider." There is always something fascinating happening at our North Georgia Cabin Rentals, and I am there with a camera to take photos or video clips of these exciting instances. I tried to upload a longer video clip of the orb spider circling his web while making it, but it wouldn't upload.
