Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.

2)I don't really know that so my answer will be based on my imagination.. Maybe the spider feel safe with cactus?

Spider webs - because they can...no one is going to bother spiders on a cactus!!
The squirrel is probably thinking about his next meal, and the web on that cactus is trying to protect the flower that's about to come out..
Spiders are predators, and since different insects are drawn to differnt plants, then weaving its web across a plant is a perfect spot for a spider to set up for dinner! =D
2nd q: no idea at all. :)
This answer might not be intelligent, since this is the first time the thought ever came to mind...LOL but I think the spiders like the succulent from the cactus plants.
2. Spiders weave their webs all over our plants and not just the cactus. But because of dengue, I don't sweep most of them away. They are really such great architects!
I think the squirrel is trying to find his nuts LOL

2. I imagine cacti get insects the Mr. Spider likes. :-)
Spiders aren't picky or prickly when it comes to where they weave their webs.
Funny post! I enjoyed reading everyone's answers!
I don't see many cacti around here, but I'd imagine that they are just great places for spiders to live.
with regards to the little guy... i guess he was thinking where he could get nuts. hahaha
The cactus? I dunno. Spiders do what spiders will, usually with an eye towards dinner.
The colors of that cactus are beautiful but I had no idea why there is web on it!
2-Cause they can........
