You brand of wry humor peeks through seven & nine. (although #9 is likely a she).

Senryu almost feels made for it sometimes.
It is a she? And I who thought I knew a thing or two about insects and spiders.

Many, (most?) male spiders, do not spend much time on webs of their own. They (very slowly & gingerly) creep upon the much larger female spiders web in a hope for courtship. Though simetimes become dinner.
(And you thought dealing with women was tough.)

Aha... so that's how it is. Sounds quite familiar. Especially that part about the devouring. Need to read up on this subject again. Was my main interest for many of my childhood years.
Yeah, we've got nothing to worry about. Though I guess it's a quite natural reaction to bite the head of the suitor that lets her do all the job and only comes when he want's some hanky panky.

I really like #1 and #3 so far Djoseph. #1 especially has great imagery. And #3 is a nice senryu.

Yeah, haiku are like that - sometimes they just come to you when you least expect them. Autopoetic, as I would call it.

Well since they are inspired by my environment it's quite natural I guess. I just have to walk around waiting for a moment to interpret.

Totally-
However, I prefer the word "become" to interpret. It is in becoming the moment that haiku arrives. But I am quibbling, and the word interpret is loaded for me (film theory and all that - interpreting the film vs. becoming it).
