Spiders, Lions and you and me

There is a spider that lives in the side mirror of my truck.   I enjoy a new web between the mirror and door every morning.  The webs are really a work of art, once you get past the creepiness.  It's fascinating that the ability to build these is seeded in these little creatures.

I've had a few chances to point this out to Lily, who has a fear of 'bugs', but I can't do it.   It's the predatory nature of web that makes it hard to explain.  I don't want to introduce her to how spiders live or what lions eat.     I fear the day she realizes that Chicken in the kitchen is just a cut up Chicken from the farm, if she hasn't already.  

She'll learn these things but just seems too innocent to know it all right now.
