Dinner for One ~ Western Spotted Orb Weaver


This web appeared tonight outside the south deck door. Its HUGE. The stringers go 25 feet up into the trees. The spider isnt (fortunately) big... probably 1 1/4 inches across. However.. I was on the edge of my comfort zone and had the web touched me, my arthritic limbs would have found flight !!!!
One shot.. low light no flash.. and she started to go up above my head... I was GONE !!!
I hope she is gone in the morning !
EDIT:- She was gone this morning but I did see her scurrying toward the dead Black Walnut tree when I mowed the Inner this afternoon. !

They only eat insects, Pam;-))
Pam J club has replied to Soeradjoen (limited…I dont know what idiocy got me out there taking pic of it :))
I have got to a point with them that I can do that.. or with the Black Widows we have here... dispose of them... and I am very careful not to put my hands in dark places as the Recluse spider is poisonous(as is the Black widow) ....but walking into webs at night... THAT is an "all bets are off" situation! :))
Pam J club has replied to Janet Brien clubLast year I was fascinated with a big yellow and black "garden spider" and even transfered her 2 egg sacks to safety when she died in the terrible heat.
Just as long as the ones with fur coats and hobnailed boots stay AWAY from me... we are good to go !!!
Thankyou B.J... I think she has gone this morning !
