User's notes

Two of these spiders seemed to share a net anchoring location. They appeared to clash with the right-hand spider advancing first to the join, before the left-hand one also came to investigate. The right-hand spider seemed to be the loser, swinging away on some silk before returning to a more central location in its web.
