Busy Spider

So our Spider has been very busy: making a fantastic web to lure her dinner.....  And in the morning, she had cleaned it all up!

Spider!

Will called me outside with a comment, "You may wanna bring your camera."

There is a massive spider living behind the spotlight that shines on our back stair and into the garden.  It was dangling, twisting in the light breeze.  And it was/is ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE. 

About the size of a silver dollar and so scary.  I managed to get the underside of it but not the front.  I hope that it isn't a mean, poisonous spider... or that it will have spider babies.... 

  

Praying Mantis

On Sunday, I went to get the paper and was greeted by this little dude on our front porch. They are the coolest bugs! I even filmed him walking--which is super slow. And, while this short film (which could make some motion sick) is *not* the best film job I have done, it is rather hilarious. Turn on/up your sound...not to super loudness, but just make sure it is on.

Enjoy!
