I was helping mum clean the car in the garage and she told me to go ahead of her and open the windows. So I did. And got the hugest shock of my life. Above the curtain rail thing was this massive spider web which ran from one side of the rail to the other. Massive. And stuck on the web was all these bugs, long dead I suppose. So I was interested in what had gotten into our garage so I looked up to see what was in it. Then I nearly had a heart attack. I saw this massive dragonfly with it's wings fully spread out and I was like O_O and thought "Woooooooooooow. Check that out. How beautiful." I was basically on the verge of getting a ladder to retrieve it. It nearly made me want to to own one of those bug collection things, with various bugs nailed to a cork plank in all their dead glory. Nearly, I said XD Well, then I got disgusted because it was obviously dead, one of a spiders victims. Then that got me thinking on how big the actual spider was, because the dragonfly was preeetttyy big as it was...
