We have a species of spider around here that rebuilds its web 3 times a day, for catching the different bugs awake at each period.

A balanced diet is important.

Most spiders actually rebuild their web at least daily. They eat it and put it back up. Otherwise it gets dusty and not effective.

Looks like several varieties spread around are the same species. I can tell you that not all varieties change their webs at the same rate. (The one described on wikipedia is not the one that lives here. The ones here lay a web at the morning, early afternoon and sunset. I've been in places where they don't change their webs at all, just keep them constant.)

That spider is also known for making swarms. But the age and behavior of the swarm changes from one variety to another.
