Spiders – Everywhere They Can Be
Q: I’m noticing lots of spider webs on my holly and azalea bushes. I also see them on dead branches in the Japanese maple. Why are they there?
A: Like any creature, spiders are where they are because they can find food there. Probably the leafless limbs gave better attachment points than shaking leaves.
