But something I have observed is that spiders make use of windows and mirrors (like car wing mirrors) to build their webs, improving the chance that a bug would blunder.

I noticed that very thing but considering the fact that they are blown off car wing mirrors not long after I hit the interstate, such a strategy may be to increase the geographic distribution of their genes rather than success at catching food.

That is, if the spiders have really thought out the consequences of their actions that their presumed intelligence supposedly allows.
