The large black and yellow orb weaver sat in its web.  It had built it in the sidelight window on the front porch of a house.


The occupant of the home opened the door to leave for work.  She brushed a thread attached to the door causing the spider to jitter toward her.  She spotted it, and letting loose a loud shriek, dropped her tote and retreated into the house.

She retrieved her tote and left for work.

She didn't notice she'd also sprayed her lunch.
