Here she is, my not-so-little industrious Cross Orb Weaver buddy doing maintenance on her web after a heavy rainfall. I got to watch her get this big and bigger -- it was a real treat and education. She's gone now but I hope one of her babies takes up residence next summer.
I love this! For YOU. I take all the spiders outside.
Normally im afraid of spiders but this one looks cute :>
When I see these types of spiders I always think about this one that lived above our back door.
After someone accidentally walked through the web one morning, it started taking its web down every morning and rebuilding it in the evening.
I miss that considerate little guy.
I love that!
