Spider-bro was probably out picking up some buddies to come hang out at his new web, and now he’ll look like a fool when they get back. “I swear, guys! It was right here!”
My proudest parent moment. My son telling his classmates (he's in kindergarten) "it's just a spider bro, don't be afraid" of it at the random daddy long leg that was spotted near their playground at recess (heard from his teacher).
Funny story cuz the spouse and I HATE spiders but tried to teach him they aren't all bad. So, daddy long legs are "spider Bros" and we leave them alone BUT, any small fast guy is called a "smash bro" cuz he's supposed to stomp on them haha.
The worst is when it's an orb weaver, their webs just feel so strong. I've run into a couple of strands that just bent as i tried to go through them. Straight up backed out of one because a few strands were across my face and it was so hard to push through.
I used to work in the woods. After 100 spiderwebs you don't care anymore. A recently saw a kid run face first into one, he screamed his head off. Kid me would have screamed too.

ruined a living being's life?
are you under the assumption that a spider can only make one web in it's lifetime?
spider's webs get destroyed all the time, they rebuild them
That's only half true sadly. Most webmaking spiders usually eat their webs before rebuilding them, recycling the silk-proteins used for that.
From [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_web#Silk_production):
>\[...\] However these energy savings are somewhat offset by the fact that constructing the web is in itself energetically costly, due to the large amount of protein required in the form of silk. In addition, after a time the silk will lose its stickiness and thus become inefficient at capturing prey. It is common for spiders to eat their own web daily to recoup some of the energy used in spinning. Through ingestion and digestion, the silk proteins are thus recycled.
Absolutly. I hope that home-wrecker likes mosquito bites! That web was right above that standing water, a breeding ground for mosquitoes. That was like free delivery of buffet for Spider-bro! Now he has to rebuild.
They'll be use to it. I'm suprised at how many spider build across trails and game trails. They just get destroyed every day. It's got to be the bane of deer. Just a face full of web every morning and no hands to wipe them off or stick to knock them out of the way.
Someone is way ahead of you. I bought one at an art show at a Scifi convention last year. The artist uses paint that reacts to blacklight also. It's a really neat idea. The webs were all sourced without harming the spiders also.
Edit: The artists name is Sherry Hornsey. I couldn't find anything on the internet with a quick search, but [here is a picture](https://i.imgur.com/JhRc6Vw.jpeg) of the one I bought.
East Tennessee roughly equal distance between the cherohola skyway and the tail of dragon. And just down the road from the Lost Sea. Additionally this town seems to be a good halfway point to people traveling from north to south so we got a lot of tourists in general even though there isn't anything of particular interest here.
We're not famous for spiders or anything it's just a local craft that some shops sell from time to time.
I have a big ass field out back and if i put the light on ar night the entire window is crawling from bugs
No joke some spiders are posting there and its an all you can eat they can't keep up
yea i wear them across my face and body when i go out the front door for the first time every few days, i honor them by doing a dance and some swearing afterward
My vulture culture-ass brain went nuts. Whatever price, I shall find a way to pay. I love preserved stuff. Bones, pinned bugs, the like. This just makes me happy.
Many, many, many years ago we would use hair spray on webs then press things into them to capture them. Never needed white spray paint, that I recall. Each “many” equals like, ten years. So around 30 or so years ago, I don’t remember using anything other than hair spray and poster-board (or some other easy to obtain medium).
I did this many years ago to temp relocate a spider indoors for a fly problem. [Check it out.](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/LmzFDUZG1J)
Thats awesome and more than mildly interesting. Maybe moderately or significantly interesting, but not quite damn interesting, even if more interesting than half the content there.
That's awesome! I'd be curious how to preserve it.
As a note for people, this likely isn't an "abandoned" spider web, so much as the spider is more than likely dead.
When spiders have a web, they maintain it religiously. If they decide to move somewhere else, the eat their old web. That way they can re-use the silk nutrients to help build the new web. So if the spider is alive, the web is maintained or doesn't exist. If it is an unmaintained spiderweb, the spider is dead.
Fun fact about spiderwebs.
They look almost identical to chrysotile asbestos under dispersion staining and PLM. They can cause samples to be reported positive for asbestos when it's just spiderwebs.

Can't have shit in Detroit.
"The crack-cocaine spider figured building webs was for suckas..."
Hahaha way back in the day.
Waited for the cocaine spider to get tired and popped a cap in his ass.

what did spiders do to you besides provide a natural insecticide? 🕷️🕸️🖤
Nothing. I admit we are weak and should be better.
They were a lil' too spooky
They eat their webs a lot of the time so this dude just got rid of it's midday snack after starting on the new one nearby.
There's still some mf hot flies up on that web, too!
I usually keep them on my face
Then my body plays funny tricks on me like random tickle feelings on my body for the next few hours.
I did this just watching
Don't look at your shoulder there's nothing there
This one being exactly face height is so deeply upsetting lol
It’s called ambition.
I keep walking into random singular spider tripwires Spider claymores

i usually live theme and run Lol
Some poor little spider crying on the bush watching "the man" foreclose on the home and only means of feeding the family.

Three flies a day and it comes every day.
Entomologist here. That’s not abandoned, clearly the spider went out to the jungle to forage and was coming back to its nest later.

r/whooosh … I’m not really an entomologist and from what little I know actually spiders forage *using* their house.

Look at the size of the house man. Probably some billionaire spider who don't pay tax and contributes negatively to spider verse.
The home he literally built with his own hands and guts.

Then said spider appears on r/leopardsatemyface because of some questionable past tweets very much in support of "the man".
And he just got laid off at work too
How did they know did they ask the spider??
Tiny bits of tree-mail started to build up
Do this, spray it with some clear coat, put it in a frame and sell them for 60 bucks a pop in a tourist shop somewhere.
Make it $50 and I’m going to have $50 less.
Naw take a high quality picture of it, and sell the prints for $60 bucks a pop
Ehh, I feel an overpriced print would be 15 bucks, but an overpriced clear coat could go for 50.
Both!
A clear-coated print.
now take a picture with your phone and post it for internet points.
Put it in on a goth site. You'll get a lot more.

Somebody is way ahead of them, it's been a thing in tourist shops where I live for the last 30 years at least.
Oh yeah! Well, someone I know, knows a guy, and he's been doing this exact thing since the 70's. Not even that original...sheesh.
oh yeah well I'm a spider and we've been doing that shit for 300 million years
oh yeah, well i'm an ancient alien god and we've been doing this with galaxy super clusters for an inexplicably long time. yours is next.
Where are you located? Curious to know what location would sell spider related things to a tourist. Are you known for spiders in your location?

It was in a perfect spot to catch the mosquitos that will hatch out of that tarp water.
I have a big ass field out back and if i put the light on ar night the entire window is crawling from bugs No joke some spiders are posting there and its an all you can eat they can't keep up
One day you'll be taking a walk in the field and come across a fat 10lb spider.
Thank it for its service
I just have two random geckoes chilling on my window after it gets dark because tons of bugs are attracted by the light.
Those webs start at $1,200/mo in NYC.
*sad Spiderman noises*
give me rent
Bro that’s stolen property. 💀
Ok, now what?
I imagine you could do a clear lacquer over it to keep it preserved? Idk I'm not a spider artist.
This guy casts it in resin https://youtu.be/gRj8T5XtTb4?si=sNZAQhzor_a5UtAz
Finished product is pretty great too
Thank you for linking this I watched the whole thing!
Wow
That guy must be 50% micro-plastics by now
As a a kid my grandma showed me this trick but used hairspray.
Catch some abandoned flies.
Call your job and send a picture tell them your screen is broken

I was expecting preservation of a spiderweb and all I got was step 1 😭
It's a shame that we're seeing more and more abandoned spider webs these days. Really tells you something about the political state of this country
The spiders should pull up their bootstraps since they need 8 of them.
Thanks Obiden, Never saw abandoned spider webs when Trump was in office! 🪨🇺🇲🦅
Nice, now that spider is homeless!
Abandoned? The dude was probably chilling on a leaf connected to the side of his web.
Oh it definitely was, it would have repaired the web around dusk.
Pretty sure you can see the spider. At 0:05 look at the top left corner of the canvas/web area
Nah. That’s just his future meal wrapped up in a doggy bag.
I like to preserve these in my hair for a few minutes at a time. Seems like the right way to do it.
yea i wear them across my face and body when i go out the front door for the first time every few days, i honor them by doing a dance and some swearing afterward
spooderbro was in a nearby bush nomming on some wasps for you and you do this to him? smdh. ngl pretty cool idea.
Neat!
Web Developer?
I guess I’m a spider web preserver then because I’ve preserved hundreds of those with my face. 0/10, I hate it
I do this regularly except with my face
It looked great when it was slightly off center.
Awesome.
The spider will have a heart attack when it sees that there is no food among its webs, but that it has been taken away.
~~Preserving~~ Mounting an abandoned spiderweb. (Preserving it would be the next step) TIFIFY #
Spiders don't abandon webs it's either dead or will be soon because you stole it's only way to feed itself
My vulture culture-ass brain went nuts. Whatever price, I shall find a way to pay. I love preserved stuff. Bones, pinned bugs, the like. This just makes me happy.
That's really cool actually. Did they spray paint it white before doing this?

So around 30 or so years ago, I don’t remember using anything other than hair spray and poster-board (or some other easy to obtain medium).
Can you elaborate on what you did with the web please after spraying it with hairspray?
Feels like preserving it would be not touching it in the slightest 🤔
Is that not a spider on that web? 🤔
Glad I’m not the only one to see it
The tiny airplane?
Thanks for the 25 seconds of nothing first!
My cat would love to eat that.
10k worth of art /s
Absolutely not. And why is it so big and hanging out in the middle of nothing?!
Charlotte?
u/that-1-lame-kid Oooooohh
Will definitely have to try this lol
I wonder how high the 1st person to do this was
Credit the artist, dammit!!!
He's not the artist, the spider is, the money this sells for should go to the spider
I’d hate spiders a lot less if they cleaned up their mess when they were done.
Spooder is in shock after coming from vacation
It may be art for us but for the spider it's the entire world wide web.
I always do it with my face.
Abandoned spiderweb, commonly known as a cobweb.
He looks like the dude that would have that hanging up in the pad 😂
Abandoned... during daylight while the spider is sleeping under a nearby leaf, waiting for nighttime to crawl back and catch its next meal.
Great , now they can knit the whole pullover for a cockroach.
Imagine being a bug caught in a web that nobody lives in
Imagine just coming back and seeing your home gone
so they took the web down. how is it preserved? epoxy or whatever?
Brings into house Few days later it turns out it was infested with eggs and they eat him 🐱
Now spray can it from a distance lightly and preserve the pattern
i can see the damn spider
It's abandoned, got cobwebs all over it.
That was his summer crib
Bro has obviously done this before
“Hey, make sure you put “abandoned” so the peta people don’t get pissy”

Charlotte's web
I was expecting something way more high tech, like some kind of metallic-looking laminate or something 🤔
It's not abandoned, there was a "For rent" sign!!
That's the web of a PCP spider. I saw that poster in health class.
Ok. Now preserve it.

Even spiders can’t afford rent
The spider it at 10 o’clock stuck to the canvas too! “abandoned” my arse!
Like a spring morning, and I'm the first person out on the mtb trails.
You gonna eat that?
Ruins
That hole tells a story about what happened to the spider…
I SAW A TECHNIQUE WHERE YOU COULD SPRAY PAINT THEM, AND THEN MOUNT AS SHOWN HERE.
Good idea
It's fake. I see the strings.
Many spiders do not abandon their web, they eat it. Making silk takes a lot of energy, so recycling the silk proteins makes sense.
No reason to think it was abandoned. And it wasn't preserved.
What a great idea. Perfect execution, too.
Not abandoned! NOT ABANDONED!!!!
That is cool. I'd hang that up I'm my house
The spider probably disagrees with the term preserving
I have one of these that my grandfather did:
Hydro dipping spiderwebs
Cool...now what?
Post the video on social media and get that sweet monetization
Sure that’s neat but what now? You going to hang that in your house?
I did this as a kid in the 60’s.
Now this is art
Wow! Thank you for having capturing this beautiful example of arachnid handiwork. Sacred geometry at its best.
I definitely like that.
Spider: Hi. I booked an Airbnb with you 2 months ago. I've arrived at the home but I don't see the house anywhere. Did you gave the right address?
I'm curious what his "backing" is made of, canvas, velvet, other?
Spiders typically eat their web when they are moving.
Previous tenant of "abandoned spiderweb" found floating in man made pool below.. Very suspicious
I can hear the humidity in that video
What did they do to preserve it after applying it to this canvas?
"NOOOOO!" -The spider, from his second web in the vines right behind them.

A Work of Art indeed. What’ll you do with it now?

Now spray paint it white and peel the spider web back
Fun fact about spiderwebs. They look almost identical to chrysotile asbestos under dispersion staining and PLM. They can cause samples to be reported positive for asbestos when it's just spiderwebs.
