I mostly do not like spiders, especially when they are close to me. But I admire this one spider that has chosen to share residence with us. I marvel at his web structure (in spite of being partly anchored to a free-swinging pull-chain on our light) and applaud his location choice as it is largely sheltered from harsh weather (being inside our screened porch) and positioned perfectly to capture invading insects that are drawn to our light.
And what is more, I think that she is really very beautiful, when you look closely. This is not what I pictured when I read Charlotte's Web as a youngster -- this is even better!
