Can I remove part of the web a daddy long legs has woven without harming them? (lemmy.ml)

This spider has taken residence in a corner of one of the rooms, I'm not bothered by them but the web is getting a bit too big... can I just remove part of it to keep the size in check without causing harm to the spider?

Yes. The web isn’t a horcrux or anything for the spider. I can build new webs.

But if it is a spider with a horcrux there are bigger problems afoot, or aleg, as the case may be...
