A creature definitely associated with September - spiders. There鈥檚 a whole colony here of great big orb spiders. The orb is the standard web shape. Bill Oddie watches a spider react to him touching the web. The wonder of silk is that this stuff is so strong. It鈥檚 comparatively stronger than steel. If you had a piece of steel as thin as this, it wouldn鈥檛 be as strong as this spider鈥檚 web. Just imagine how difficult, how complicated this whole web making process must be, because look at these strands going right across there. They can build a web amazingly quickly. You鈥檒l often find spiders鈥� webs near the stream or the river because there are lots of little insects round here. Every now and again there鈥檒l be a hatch of little insects and wham, they will fly into the webs here.
