Reply to comment by AmayaMaka5 in Do spiders always build their own webs, or do they sometimes live in a web vacated by another spider? by GoodAndBluts

Right? I always take comfort seeing one spider and thinking "Well he's probably territorial which means there are probably no more spiders around". The thought of one being a sign of more is just too much.

most spiders you see are probably females, the males are generally smaller, more skittish and hide more.

And tend to get eaten by females, sometimes after getting lucky, often not.
