 Did you know female spiders eat the males after mating? Smart creatures... Teehee

 

Much like Praying Mantises, a favorite bug of mine!

I love those!

 BFFs: Rebecca , Erin, Cortney, <3ChickenForever, Isabel, Olivia, and Tatiana. 99.999% of girls would die if Justin Bieber appeared at their doorstep and asked for a date. If your that 0.0001% Who's wiping blood from your fist, put this in your siggy.

Ew. That's one spider I can't cotton to. If any of those nasty beggers come around, I hope my resident jumping spiders and wolf spiders eat them.

 

The website is helpful, but that cartoon of a smiling "hobo" spider is creepy. lol

There is a pet store a bit away from my home that sells everything. I'm not a fan of that, particularly, but what's neat is they let you hold anything. The snakes there are amazing. Haven't held the tarantulas yet. I can never get past the snakes and tortoises, lol!

 

Here's a pic of a spider that graced our house for two seasons, a few years back. The first year, there was just one. Then the next year, there were two. The third year, they were gone and haven't been back. sad.png  They were so pretty, and their webs were awesome! Unfortunately, no pics of their webs for some reason, but they were a zigzag pattern. They were really cool.

That is a golden garden spider. They can get bigger than that picture. They're large and docile spiders. Their bites can hurt though. They are excelent for the garden or any place where they can stretch their large legs.
