Alfonse - The Spider who lives in my Wingmirror
A spider has taken root there and has proceeded to develop a complex web system, despite my initial attempts to dislodge him with my attempts to be the first 1.2L engine to break the landspeed record. I have named him Alfonse.
Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am not fond of spiders. Infact, I hate them. There is no 'live and let live' philosophy with me and the arachnid species - If one of their kind invades my personal space war is declared until one of us is dead. (I have an undefeated record so far..)
But the shear adversity facing Alfonse has made be look at him differently. True, he is gross, but up against strong winds and 70mph speeds, he has managed to develop an beautifully intricate web - particularly great on wet mornings.

You're so right about nature being just so incredible. Usually my favourite things are cobwebs, when I was little I used to wish I had a dress made from spider webs with raindrops on. Alfonse should spin me one :)
I too have a spider and its home on my wing mirror. Maybe we could get them together...
