I've been keeping my eyes open for one of these sexy girls for a while now to no avail. Finally one turned up in a bush at my dads house.
IMO these are some of the most beautiful spiders around and I can't get enough of them. It is in this spirit that I share with you, dear friends the following pictures.
Baby got back:
Her habitat: wide shot. This is the one damaged bush in a big circle of nice round boxwoods.
Her habitat: closer. Note that her web is just a few lines right now. I guess she's building another this evening.
Debris below her web: See the black mass above-left of center? Those are some big dragonfly wings. I suspect they have something to do with the webs absence and her fatness. Much fatter, in fact than she was just last Sunday.
I'm watching her for a sac. None are visible yet.
Enjoy!
