Unless a spider actively gets in my way, I pretty much ignore them, although I am careful to leave those that live in my houseplants free to catch mosquitoes and gnats (I have both tiny web-spinners and the larger 'jumping' variety). But they're really quite fascinating animals, besides their web-spinning capabilities. This is more a schoolkids' site, but it has info on different kinds of spinning glands, and links to stuff like the complex mechanism that allows the spider to 'throw off' sticky strands from her feet (think what the Tandu might modify such structures into!).
