I keep having to re-locate Big 'Un. She likes to plant herself right u=out front and center. At the rosebushes, she was in the mowing area, so I re-located her to the potting shed. Well...there she is AGAIN! Right where she will get mowed over! The spot has also been home to another...

They do actually!! Colors and patterns are warnings. As are the rattles of a venomous snake.

:thumbsup I think it is neat how observing the animals we share this planet with...we find out that so many of them have personalities too. Update: Big 'Un.....apparently a spider only saves back enough web to spin once a day. Then eats it and recycles it. I put her on a spot on the rose...

Oooo...the big 'un got sweet revenge on me this morning. I had relocated her Saturday, up at the 2 rosebushes across from the side door to the kitchen. I have 9 already in there. Rose bushes, clematis, hosta and peony. LOTS of bugs. Nom nom Well....she and another huge one got all pissy...

Hoodat!!! So happy you stopped in to say Hello!! I think of you and wonder how you are doing.

I enjoy watching all of the ladies and their escapades in "Life on the Web". I haven't found a whole lot online about the little idiosyncrasies they show me. In...they don't always use the zig zag pattern. They don't always make a new web in the mornings. AND.....they don't eat anything...

As of today, I have counted 19 garden spiders in varying levels of development. One egg sack, and it wasn't even laid by the monster HUGE spider.

I send photos as an attachment to my email, then open it up on the laptop, and download.

Yuuuppp...My HP did that on Monday. I didn't even get online till the afternoon. A Microsoft update.

Awww....how precious!! :love

At least they are a good distraction for me. I like watching them and how they react to their environment. I really haven't found much online about them either, abut their behaviors etc. When a major storm came through here last year, a tropical storm or something, it was interesting to see...

I enjoy those little jumping spiders. Somewhere, many moons ago...I heard that jumping spiders were good luck. But back then, I always had one living in every window of whatever house I was living in. Funny thing here, in SC, I have none. But then, I have had bad luck since being here in...

When we moved to the property, the grass on the 1 acre was at least 4' high. Loaded with spiders and worms etc. And snakes. I couldn't identify any of them but the black widows. Since I spend so much of my days out here isolated, I get to observe many different species in their daily habitats.

Garden spiders!! :lol: I started watching them the past 2 years. Last year I had 9 adult females, who made a dozen egg sacks. Some of the poor ladies succumbed to the local critters. My Diva game hen, she ate one. :he They don't usually eat spiders. I took one spider inside, and the cats...

:welcome from sunny SC!

:hitWe DO miss people when they are gone!! :hit:hit

Good to hear he is ok, Mary. Thanks for letting us know.

Beautiful pictures Mary! Thank you for sharing them! I lived in the Caribbean for 2 years in the 80's, and loved it.
