Web Building

DateFriday, October 2, 2009 at 5:23PM | By AuthorDavid | in

Here is a video I made of this amazing spider building a web near my house. I know some of you are scared of them, but what they can do is sometimes amazing. Look closely at the legs, all working so precisely with such elegance and control. Watch how the bottom leg delicately puts each freshly spun thread into place. It's really quite something to see. Please enjoy.

THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO WATCH FROM BEGINNING TO END. THIS IS AS CLOSE AS I WILL EVER GET,
THANKS TO YOU. TRULY ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING VIDEOS I HAVE EVER SEEN. HOW FORTUNATE YOU WERE AND HOW PATIENT YOU WERE, AND TO WATCH IT FROM THE BOTTOM. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SPIDER, THE COORDINATION, DEXTERITY, THE CRAFT--THE INTELLIGENCE? HOW QUICKLY, GRACEFULLY, DELICATELY THEY WORK. AROUND AND AROUND, EACH CIRCLE THE SAME YET EVER LARGER THAN THE LAST, SO STRONG IT WILL BE. TO FINISH AND SETTLE IN THE CENTER OF THE BEAUTIFULLY SPUN CREATION.
AN EXCELLENT VIDEO, SO VERY WELL CAPTURED AND BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED WITH PERFECT BACKGROUND MUSIC.!
KUDOS A PLENTY TO YOU, YOUR TALENT, PERCEPTION, COMPOSITION. AND PATIENCE!
NOW ONE OF MY FAVORITE OF YOUR VIDEOS.
HOW MANY OTHER WONDERS OF NATURE DO WE MISS, NEVER TO BE SEEN. I COULD NOT REALLY FOLLOW THE PROCESS STEP BY STEP WHICH WAS FRUSTRATING, HOW MUCH OF IT WAS MY EYES, I WONDER,
THANK YOU AND YES, I DID ENJOY!

This is truly a 5 star video. You did such an excellent job capturing on video and the matching with music. Although some of us do not like them, they are amazing creatures.

I left a comment at YouTube, but I don't see it there anymore. Anyhow, you have done a remarkable job with this video, David.
I have watched it numerous times, each time with a feeling of awe.
It has inspired me to create an ELA lesson plan (descriptive writing) .
This video makes me feel peaceful, and reminds me to be humble.
