A second reason is most bathtubs have a 90 degree corner that makes a web easier to build and maintain for the spider. Third... it is a predator’s nature to hunt near watering holes. You would be surprised how many insects actually travel to your bathroom during the night. A standard house had millipedes/centipedes, pill beetles, ear wigs, spiders, flies, beetles and several different forms of might’s that live inside the walls and under flooring. These insects are often never seen due to their life styles... but they are around. If you ever want to see just what kind of insects live in your home. Leave a small container of water in your bathroom tub or floor as well as some small sugar cubes. Then use a black light and a camera to record during the night. You would be surprised to see how many insects make the nightly migration to your bathroom.
