They just gravitate to me, I guess

I stepped out of my house and started walking to work, when I noticed a dot moving out of the corner of my eye. There was a tiny spider dangling from my eyebrow! This is a bit surprising, since it’s a bit windy and cool here, but maybe they were desperate for shelter. I walked all the way from my house to the lab with a tiny spider on a silken thread hanging from my hand — I might have looked a bit odd. But I made it all the way and snapped their picture.

Isn’t that an adorable little orb-weaver? Now I’m not sure what to do with them — the outside is a bit inhospitable. I might have to adopt them and raise them in the lab.
