What’s all this, then?
I stick up for spiders. I’m not an expert, just a fan. Someone who’s convinced that if you take a bug’s-eye view of your surroundings you’ll learn something about your neighborhood and the world. And along the way you might find a way to disentangle a web of misunderstanding stretching back before we meddling bipeds came along—which is, incidentally, the only “web” pun I hope to make, at least deliberately, at least today.
This is mostly about the spiders who cross my path in San Jose, California.
I’m a journalist who learned long ago to write about things you love. This is one of them.
