During last night my N. clavipes made a kicka$$ web, and exactly where I wanted it to be.
I stayed up to about 3 am watching her make it. It's truly amazing that such a large spider can hang and manouver on such thin threads (but then again, I've read that the silk is about as strong as kevlar). It was really fun to watch her 'float' in the air like she was weightless.
I gave her two crix today, and right now she is devouring the second.
The web seems to work wonders against scuttle flies too, in only one day, about 10 of them got stuck in the web.
I'm in awe of her!
