porch spider!

Yesterday, I had to knock the web away from the steps in order to get down them without being covered in goo.

This morning, I noticed that she (he?) had cleverly re-built on only half of the steps.

Holy crap, man, is that eating a cicada?

[millabell]

I don't know...I was kind of getting the camera as close as I could without getting me anywhere near it. :)

spiders are cool!

[millabell]

Sure! Just as long as it's out there. And not getting goo on me in the mornings.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!

I actually had a nightmare about a spider last night. This one is smaller, but still... *squirms*

That looks like an egg sack...best to let Mama Spider be and find another way out! Once we get the first frost, the bug quota in town is going to plummet significantly. My feelings on spiders are that they eat more annoying bugs, generally keep to themselves, and are thought to be good luck in some cultures. Other than obstructing your front porch, she's not going to get in your business.:)

She took off for greener (or more buggy) pastures last night. :)

No no, not porch, the stairs, which are vital to exiting the apartment. Otherwise, Ninja Diana must dive over porch railing, over bushes, over flowers, and execute perfect non-injury causing ten point landing on sidewalk, before 8 a.m.

Actually that'd be kinda awesome to watch.
