Saving a Yellow Garden Spider from Hurricane Winds...

[aranamor]

Not sure where else to ask about this, but there's an adult female Yellow Garden Spider that has a web right outside my house, and with a hurricane incoming (I'm in coastal GA so still some time) I'd hate to see her get blown away/killed by the winds. Im planning on taking her inside, just until the storm passes. Any tips on what I should keep her in? Ive got a couple spare kritter keepers and plenty of plastic containers I could drill air holes into. Itd be very temporary, as I plan on letting her back once the storm is gone, but is there anything I would need to be aware of care wise? Also, I've also got Milkweed Assassin Bug nymphs all over some of my plants, and I'm going to keep those in a mesh butterfly enclosure communally as well (they practically live communally on my plants, Ive even seen them share food). Any tips on them as well? Thanks.

I would say let nature take its place. If you really want to save them you can.
Spiders have survived storms and hurricanes for ages and I’m sure they will be okay.

I know, but Ive grown fond to her living right next to my house. She's also in a bit of an open area, so I'm afraid the wind could easily knock her off her web.

Don’t worry orb weavers have retreated when there not using there web so it will probably hunker down when the storm comes.
