A spider has spun a web smack-dab in front of the CBC.ca webcam in St. John’s.
The spider, which has been on the scene since at least this weekend, has spun a web that measures about a metre long, outside the window where the webcam is anchored.
The webcam is pointed at the Prince Philip Parkway and the north side of Memorial University’s campus.
On Tuesday, a second, smaller spider spun its web nearby. A number of flies — which look like specks of dust on the webcam screen — dot the two webs.
The larger spider has attracted enough interest for CBC Radio’s Ted Blades to solicit possible names from his listeners. Early suggestions include famous spiders like Charlotte, the heroine of E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web, and Boris, the subject of the rumbling 1966 Who song Boris the Spider.

If a spider drops down in front of you from the ceiling and dangles, do not kill it. If the spider hangs and then goes back up to the ceiling, you are due for a run of good luck. If, however, the spider dangles and then drops, it foretells the sudden loss of a loved one or some other personally catastrophic event.
