When my son was very young a HUGE garden spider made her web in the shrubs at his bedroom window. She was very brightly colored in either neon yellow or green and black, I can't which color but I do remember that she really was beautiful. Her colors always reminded me of some custom car paint job. She was much prettier than that picture you've posted of the garden spider.

My son loved to watch her through the window. He considered her to be a pet. He watched her web catch insects and watched her rush to wrap up her prey. I thought it was cute how interested he was in her activities.

When were were going to move to a new home he was so worried about what may happen to her that I caught her and took her over to our new house and released her into the shrubs there. She had an egg sac in her old nest so I collected that when I captured her. After she'd made her web at our new house I waited until I did not see her on the web and put her egg sac in the web. I never did see any baby spiders and after a few weeks the egg sac was gone.

The people that bought our old house tore all shrubbery out so taking her to our new house had been the proper thing to do for the spider. I'm not sure if we did the right thing for her offspring, but we tried.

TL:DR Saved a garden spider and made a child happy.

OP's entire story reminds me of how my bipolar sister behaves when she's in pre and full blown manic phase.

Perhaps OP is bipolar and unaware. My sister was well into her 30's before she was diagnosed.

I in NO way mean this as an insult to OP, if that is the problem he can't help how he's behaving but the proper doctor and meds could help a lot.

I'm honestly sorry and I in no way intended to hurt your feelings.

I replied to a comment implying you used cocaine. I was offering a different possibility for your rather impulsive and somewhat illogical behavior based on my experiences with a bipolar family member.

I probably should have evaluated your story in a broader and less personal manner.

If you're not bipolar that's great. For those that are bipolar it's nothing to be ashamed of and it's quite manageable.

My response wasn't intended to be mean or hurtful, quite the opposite.

You may simply be young, excited about your ideas, rather impulsive and not bipolar at all.
