CCTV FAUNA

 

Over a camera, a spider,

Moves forth and back like a glider…

Spinning its web

Before making bed,

Hoping for unwary colliders!

–

We’ve seen hornets, wasps and flies,

Become giant-sized…

The farther the focus

The more hocus pocus,

And the bigger they seem to our eyes.

–

The underside of this spider looks white,

At least near that shining spotlight…

Its legs all moving

And the web is improving,

Should be finished by morning’s light.
