Thank you for a different look at these much-maligned beneficials. I have had a barn spider (orb weaver) build in front of my porch light each summer for the last 3 years; all named after the wicked woman from the Lonesome Dove series (Elmira I, Elmira II, etc.) She is absolutely fascinating to watch and has had at least one egg bundle each year. I like to think all the Elmiras are related.
