Moonhowl said:Nice spiders. Is the Shamrock Spider an orb weaver like the Argiope aurantia?



It is an orb weaver.
Yes, all orb weavers remake webs dailyyyyyy.

I won't kill them, just relocate them. The best I can.
in fact I encourage you all to try to, AND OR. Tip a bo sideways in your garden. Where beneficial insects don't go to, in time you'll have your own spider security.

funny story actually. As kids we would grab webbed branches and make almost a cotton candy ball of webs, and when the gnats would bug us..... a few swipes and it catches a TON. Try it, the spiders benefit too 😂😂😁
