When hanging out my washing on the line, the clothes pegs already dangling there have small spiders, carefully hidden.
They can only be seen when the sun catches the webs' silken threads, which they have laboriously stretched from peg to peg.
Or on rainy days when raindrops hang suspended in the webs, sketching them out for all who have the time to see.
Occasionally when hanging my washing up a spider is dislodged, and hangs suspended for a while on a long thread of web.
Gently lowering itself down to ground level.
I never harm these spiders as they help to keep my washing free from greenflies and other flying insects.
