Every year it takes a few times of walking through a web near the house entrance before they keep the webs only up in the corners. Not sure if it's adaptive or the ones who get webs destroyed by my face die off but somehow they always figure it out.

    September is typically spider time (in western Europe). I suppose young spiders haven't learnt their spider etiquette yet, or they just use their spider wire to fly around more than big spiders I assume.

    There's a solid chance the spiders whose webs were destroyed are dying off. Building an entire web is a pretty biologically costly process as I understand it, and having its method of catching food destroyed doesn't bode well for a spider's chances of making a new one
