First, if you think you can just take a daddy longslegs to work, place it on a plant and expect it to start building a web and catching little gnats you're wrong. Yeah, in hind sight I know it sounds a little stupid. (note: next time get a garden spider that doesn't mind being in the open/light)
Within minutes of being placed on said plant I could see him/her pushing out the fishing line, hoping it would catch a breeze and whisk it off to some darker corner. Of course I'm in an office and the only breeze is coming straight down from the ventilation. Yet within a minute it was traversing a 3 foot length from my plant to my monitor and 20 seconds later he was 5 feet away and setting up shop comfortably in the dark behind one of my "guest" chairs! How the hell did it manage that so damn fast? They are truly amazing creatures.
