More on spiders





... I want to win you over with my spiders! :}
Really - they are pretty cool!

The spiders which I see so often around our place (outside) are called Banana Spiders or Golden Silk Spiders.

Here is a website telling all about them. They are harmless and quite beneficial to have around. Plus- very interesting to see! The webs can be elaborate. I never disturb the webs if I can avoid it.

I found several yesterday in my back yard and in an old shed we have.
:) I never am able to get really good pictures but I sure have fun trying!

This one edged in black makes a good screen for Halloween, so use it if you want! I have it on my screen and it's pretty neat looking!

IMHO, of course! ;}
















LOL...As you can see I'm thinking of Fall and Halloween already!

Have a good day!


Love,

  3. You have me won over, but not because of your spiders. Spiders and I are not friends!
    The pictures aren't too bad, but I wouldn't want to meet one up close!

  6. We have harmless spiders here and I leave them alone for the most part.

    Unfortunately we also have black widows (far too many) so I'm afraid a few innocent spiders have been dispatched because I wasn't sure and I wasn't about to reach down and turn it over.

    You're right though; in their own way they're beautiful and fascinating.

  7. Ann,

    Oh yah- I watch out for the Black Widows. We have those too. But these big Banana Spiders have a very distinctive look and can't be mistaken for a bad guy!
