There's been too many of them, doing too well, for it to be a coincidence: Spiders in wing mirrors!

I mean, it's bad enough when they're lurking on your car. At least you can kid yourself that they're sheltered from the worst of the buffeting there.

But on my MOTORBIKE?? There is NO shelter on the handlebars - so how the hell has the web that I noticed first thing this morning managed to last for a round trip of over sixty miles??

Every vehicle seems to acquire a spider web attached to a mirror within a few days, it seems. And no amount of wind or rain seems to shift them. And I don't think it's mere chance.

Every time I get home, I have to hang a damp cloth on my helmet visor to loosen off the dead bugs that are ALWAYS stuck to it. Multiple bugs, on every journey.

So.. a web on the same vehicle must, inescapably, encounter the odd bug or two on each journey. Far, far more than a web that was just hanging off a tree or something.

So it all makes perfect sense: Mobile webs catch more bugs. Which is what spiders are after. So any that make a lasting web on a vehicle will be very successful.

Evolution in action. Never mind snakes on a plane, the real world has come up with spiders on a car.

On EVERY car.

And bike.

If one gets into my helmet whilst I'm riding, tho, there WILL be trouble!
