In my other life as a carpenter, I always take it as a good sign when spiders start moving in to the structures we build. I actually get a little worried that we’re doing something wrong if the spiders don’t find our project appealing. I’m not sure if the same consideration applies to grazing, but a number of cross orbweavers (Araneus diadematus) took up residence in my electronet over night.
