Yep, spiders are small, think of how huge we are in comparison. They only bite as a defense, if we step on them, or try to grab them with our bare hands. Otherwise, they will run away and hide, if given the chance. I spotted my first Garden Spider today. Hope I find more. They are gorgeous spiders, and make a brand new web with zig-zag down the center every evening. I fed this one a tiny grasshopper, and she made fast work of it, probably didn't take 3 seconds to wrap it, and back to the center she went.
