With apologies to spider-haters

by Mike on Thu 31 Aug 2006 09:18 PM EDT

If it’s any consolation at all to you spider-hating folks, soon it will be cold and all the spiders (and all the pictures of them) will eventually be in short supply. But for now, I have a new picture. This evening, I went back to check on our baby mantis (who is in about the same spot as the other day) and I came upon a rather impressive sight: I found a huge reddish-brown spider snacking on a yellowjacket. There was a light breeze and it was difficult to get a good close-up picture, but I tried my best...

I returned a few minutes later to catch this beast for the Spider House, but she had dragged her dinner away to a safe spot behind a drainpipe. But I’ll check back soon.

Another really big spider

by Mike on Thu 03 Aug 2006 09:02 PM EDT

Here’s a picture of a really big spider that I found on the north side of our house today. I think it’s a Black and Yellow Argiope. She is about 2 inches from top to bottom (or that might be from bottom to top, as she is pointing down towards the ground.) I would typically be inclined to catch this beauty and put her in my Spider House, but that particular project has gone by the wayside for now. It seems as though my plate is now full with two jobs, two kids, four fish, a dog, volunteer work and a blog. So she will stay on where she is for now and we’ll entrust her to keep all of the other pesky bugs away. Click here to see another spider that I found last year.
