Seems there was a spider who planned to sit down beside her...wherever "she" or I might be in my garden. Oh what a beauty he was there sunning near my flowers. So happy he didn't think I was his morning meal and bite me. I do seem to forget there are those little creatures lurking in my garden and do not put gloves on before I pull weeds. I could just see me running through the field with a spider attached to my hand or crawling up my sleeve. Whatever would I do? Scream and do a little dance? Fred thought it was funny after I took each picture of the beauty I would shiver and squeel. Do I have Arachnophobia? This guy was big! Afterward I kept thinking I had something crawling on me. Creepy! Do you see the faces on his back? He is beautiful but yet creepy! Better to stay away from him!

FRIENDSHIP
"Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest. It's about those who came and never left your side."
Wow, what a whopper. I had to look him up - Argiope aurantia, sometimes known as the yellow and black spider or corn spider - luckily harmless. This time of the year we get Giant House Spiders appearing around the house. Apparently they come out to look for mates this time of year. I leave them alone as they live on insects. I never see insects in the house, so they must be doing a good job!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that is what he is called Sue. Thanks. He is big! Have seen others in the same place so there are many. I love the 3 faces on his back. Beautiful works of art! I wouldn't want to see him crawling up my sleeve though!
