to the winds

to follow up on the previous post i had made regarding spiderwebs and some social interaction between the spiders, it now seems that the webs have grown to a scale where their densities are too high. they now act more like sheets of thin fabric than the more 'translucent' spiderwebs they once were - hence every strong gust of wind is now able to shear and shred the webs significantly. i've noticed that the webs are catching fewer new prey, and i haven't seen the spiders come out in a while. if anything this is an apt analogy for the rise and fall of a civilisation - they were the victims of their own success :(

that which is dead can never die..
but rises again harder and stronger.

i await the new spiderlings, and hope they do not err the same way their predecessors have.

(they probably will)
