These little spiders are not afraid of a little water!

Always going wherever the wind blows

Mates: a watchful crew

Red sky at night, sailor's delight!

Their ship is made from spider silk and dew-jeweled. Who needs pirate's treasure?

Daisy's Discovery

Daisy Long Legs could not have predicted the startling effect the morning's dew had on her web. It was magical, radiant and shimmering. She started to rethink the whole enterprise and was soon hunched over her sketchbook trying out new ideas.

The Children are Coming!

Daisy Long Legs is getting ready for Halloween!

The house is a mess: not enough cobwebs!

Get going children!

Spin, weave, stitch

Fly from corner to rafter to spire and banneret.

To the cellar and pantry

And don't forget: under the bed.

Stop playing on the bell rope!

We have work to do!!

The children are coming!
