| ...said the spider to the fly.
Orb Weavers are everywhere and come in several shapes and sizes. Still the best low tech defense in the garden. This one had a fly wrapped up a bit but she seemed preoccupied.
Then, from the underside, I saw why. She had a mouthful.
Gotta love it. tj |

| It's that time of year, for sure :-) And while I appreciate what the spiders contribute to the garden, I am not fond of walking through their webs. Which are everywhere!! Makes watering all my container plantings very challenging. So I routinely disturb the webs so I can water without fighting off spiderwebs and they are magically back in place the next morning. Persistant little buggers! And some not so little. |

| I'm always amazed at how long some of the main support web strands can reach...10- 15 feet or more. And yes, usually across a garden path at face height. And then, because they are support lines, they are tougher than normal. tj |
