I thought you guys couldn't stand them. Like deer in the garden digging everything up.

Well I like them but I don't have any around. Fact being, the only marsupial critters we have a possum.

I'd like you all to meet Gorgena a Golden Orb Weaver who has been keeping us company for several month now. She was quite plump and did disappear a while back, just for a few days. Then returned looking much slimmer. We figured she went away to have her babies.

This morning was very frosty with a big mist hanging about. The web came out quite well.

And she hasn't been encouraged to move? I'll congratulate you on being tolerant. Spiders and snakes, wasps and yellow jackets are all on my list of , please leave my domain. Mosquitoes, yeah mosquitoes them too……

While cockroaches freak me completely and utterly out, I rather like spiders.

I opened my barrack door while stationed on Guam only to find a monster Banana spider had made a home across the walkway from my door. OH NO says I we will not be good neighbors. And I used a broom to post an eviction notice!!!!!!!

That reminds me of when my wife and I first got married. There was a spider that that built a web in the upper corner of the shower stall and for some reason we left it be. My wife started calling it "Charlotte" and it was like a pet that whole summer.

Just a little update, Gorgena is still with us end seemingly enduring the morning frosts and I do believe the larder has been reduced a little.

I had a ready supply of spider snack sized protein for it. However, I found it frozen in ice one really cold morning.
