Why are we more aware of spiders’ webs in autumn/fall?

Are there more of them? And if so why? Or are they just more noticeable?

Water droplets are more likely to settle on the spiders Web during the autumn. This changes how the light reflects making them more visible.

The other choice is that after the full summer, only the largest spiders have survived so they will have larger webs to sustain the size they have become.

Final point is that spiders tend to move inside during the autumn to deal with the changing weather so we are more likely to see them around and thus think there are more of them

There seems to be a larger number of those big ass yellow and black banana spiders around here lately. And those fuckers give no shits. They make there webs everywhere and chill all damn day showing off. Scaring the shit out of me.
