Another new family member

The other night a spider set up camp on our deck and spun a huge web. David spent a good 3 hours watching the spider and what he did with the food he caught, and how he fixed his web when larger bugs tore part of it up. He ate pretty well that night, but when he didn't show up last night we figured he wouldn't be back.

We went out to play tonight about 9 pm since it finally got cool enough to go outside, and when we came in the spider was back. His web is as wide as the door out to the deck and probably 2/3 the height. It really is amazing to watch, even for an arachnaphobe like me. Posted by Picasa
