Do spiders have concept of memory / facial recognition?

bit of a story

Last week I noticed a spider on the side of the house. I didn't kill it because they the small ones that kill little insects. Then one day i took out the step ladder which was apparently connected to the webs and accidentally destroyed parts of the web, i say sorry and go on to do my task. I came back the next day to return the ladder and see that it has rebuilt its house, but everytime i go there now i get slinged with webs. Never got slinged before i destroyed its house.

Likely they remember that they made a web and it was partly dismantled so the next one is built differently to try to avoid a similar result.

That assumes that it's the same spider.

I am pretty sure that the spider is not out to get you.

Don't take any chances though.
