Why do spiders put those cobwebs up in the corners of a room?

Question

No fly in it's right mind flies to corners... The proof is in the pudding, when was the last time you ever saw a fly in a cobweb, all they collect is dust! Why are spiders so d**n stupid?

Answer 1

Not stupid!

When they build webs in the center of a room people keep knocking them down.

It is the same reason you don't build a garage on the middle of a highway.

(even though you could fill it woth lots of cars if you did, you would almost certainly have it hit by a truck.)

Answer 2

I'd say it's easier than jumping from one side of the room to another.

Answer 3

Where else would you put a "website?"

Answer 4

what i want to know is why a spider always builds its web on my wing mirror ,  on my nice new car .cos it always gets obliterated every time i drive it ,does it not learn

.

Answer 5

Cobweb spiders are not quite going after flies.  They are going after ants, beetles, or even other spiders that happen by.  Plus it is easier to build a web in a corner than it is on a flat wall.

Answer 6

You just don't have the right kind of spiders in your house, the corners are the best spots, at least they are in mine
