A spider chair
A few years ago, Keith, one of my daughter's ex boyfriends, gave her  a wooden chair he made in ag class and painted green. Today, I spotted a smart little  funnel weaver (Agelenopsis sp.) spider who's made her web in a corner of the chair seat.
 Typically, funnel weavers  construct their webs on the ground in grassy areas. They get their name from the funnel-shaped webs they construct. They  lurk in the funnel opening and wait for an insect to bumble onto the  sheet-like webbing, then they rush out and grab it.
