Look who's visiting

Remember that spider I told you about? Well, I finally captured a picture of one on my deck at the back of the house. You tell me: Does he look like the one I showed you in my other post?

I wasn't too happy to see him sitting outside of my kitchen window waiting for his prey. Luckily I remembered to capture a picture of him before he went to bug heaven via a healthy dose of bug spray (Thanks, Frankie!).

What kind of critters do you have hanging around your home?

Hey! We've had that spider in our yard too. It is a garden spider or "writing spider" coincidently. The female is quite larger than the male and is known by her zig-zag weaving of her web. Oh yeah--she is harmless to humans, although she doesn't look like it. Next time, move her to a safe spot with a rake. We like bugs at our house--can you tell? :)

Hey--I like your blog! Lots of variety!!

I really don't mind spiders at all. However, I am dead terrified of rats and lizards and roaches.

Yup, it's a writing spider. We have them everywhere around here. They are big, and if you go on the back side of the web and put your hand towards it, they will "bounce" the web. It's really neat.
