I don't get the reference so I'll just tell you that I've watched a granddaddy long legs catch and web up a stink bug in my office and I did nothing to stop it
does this make me a murderer?

No
Just an accessory.

thats what I meant, but, I don't feel so bad
I mean, it is a bit awkward looking up at him hanging all upside down with these huge legs splayed around him

Are you implying that Daddy long legs

Nah, she said Grandaddy Long Legs
which are different things in North America than here in the UK.

Is it an actual spider?
Google is being no help at all here

EDIT Wikipedia says yes, so they probably do have webs then, silly Jim

I didn't ask a question
and she said it caught it and webbed it up. not necessarily meaning it had a web. it might be able to produce the stuff that makes one, but not have one.

Sorry V, thought you were Jim
A quick glance at the wikipedia page showed that it does produce silk, but catches and traps prey rather than using a web. What is this place Arachnidforum.com?

coincidence I think
I was just being contrary and happened to be right.

I had read about spiders last week though

What did you read about them?
Are they forming an advanced civilisation and plotting to overthrow us, or more likely, are they going to faff about in webs, eating ladybirds and terrifying little girls?

that there haven't been many around
and that there is predicted to be more this autumn, and that there is a survey of them

I then went on to read about the types of spider that are being surveyed, and then thought "fuck me, my garden and house are full of those"
