See Romans 8 the whole chapter, and vs 22 "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." So we see the glory of God in the design of the leaf curling spider and probably the effects of the Fall. Photos and drawing are done by myself- JGL.
"Phonognatha graeffei, referred to as the Leaf curling spider, is a common Australian spider found in woodlands and urban areas in the north-eastern, eastern and southern states. A small member of the Araneidae family, the orb-weavers...The spider is distinguished by having a curled leaf at the centre of its web, in which it shelters. The species form pairs living together in the same leaf, though at opposite ends of their shelter, even before mating at maturity.The female creates a separate curled leaf "nursery" hung in foliage nearby...The leaf-curling spiders are day-active orb weavers, protecting themselves from predators by sitting inside their silk-seamed, curled leaf. In P. graeffeithis leaf is suspended just above the centre of the web, but may be placed higher in other species...The spider is commonly found in open woodland and forest habitats, as well as urban and suburban gardens in the north-eastern, eastern and southern Australian states." From Wikipedia online 7-17-17. Please note that females eating males may be a post Fall characteristic. What the spiders ate before the Fall and did they "need" the leaf for protection before the Fall, I am not sure of. But, it is clear that all the Creation was corrupted after the sin of Adam and Eve.
