bugs insects series april 28 2026 0 ode to a spider by joan ganny gannij on my balcony i find evidence of an uninvited visitor the filament flytrap it has woven is keflar strength proof that she has been laboring through the winds and the rains of this slow arriving autumn as i inspect the flowers that have survived the showers of the night before i spot this agile arachnid the size of my father s thumbnail suspended in the air like philippe petit between the twin towers once upon a time she is plump compact possibly full of new offspring i engage her sotto voce compliment her on her skill and patience apologize for bumping into the sticky camouflage the wind shifts her gently like a cat on a cradle i wonder what the neighbors will think but don t really care our brief encounter is interrupted by four golden orbs peering through the window she is on the move again climbing upwards focused deliberate oblivious to danger i am touched by her dedication to the task at hand she climbs inch by steady inch until she reaches the clothes line where she fixes herself against a wooden pin the human impulse would be to feel threatened by her presence to kill her smack her dead because that is what most people reflexively do i m immune to that thanks to a book i once read to my children the spinster goes on with her meticulous labors her innocence bliss photo spider and web
