I think Lisa may have already showed this in class (or was it from her 7D class?)... Anyway, I could not find a link to it so here it is. Nina mends broken spider webs using thread. A lot of care and patience is required for such a task, but according to many articles, the spiders reject her work and move on. This makes sense, because she is using a bright color, where as their webs are clear and almost invisible. Again, I wonder if this hurts the spider, because it is forced out of its home, or was it going to leave its home anyway (since the web was broken)?
