[β] marcos@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (3 children) We have a species of spider around here that rebuilds its web 3 times a day, for catching the different bugs awake at each period. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago A balanced diet is important. permalink fedilink source parent [β] sandbox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Most spiders actually rebuild their web at least daily. They eat it and put it back up. Otherwise it gets dusty and not effective. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Classy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Please tell me more, I want to learn about this permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parawixia_bistriata Looks like several varieties spread around are the same species. I can tell you that not all varieties change their webs at the same rate. (The one described on wikipedia is not the one that lives here. The ones here lay a web at the morning, early afternoon and sunset. I've been in places where they don't change their webs at all, just keep them constant.) That spider is also known for making swarms. But the age and behavior of the swarm changes from one variety to another. permalink fedilink source parent
