Description
Never!!! Never in my life did I think I would post spider pictures! I am totally terrified by them whereas Andrea seems to adore them:-)To both Alex and I, this is a horror story! I was standing on the back porch, leaning on the railing watching my little chickadee take a bath.I looked down and there was a patch of webbing and what looked like sawdust all over it...
Whatever possessed me to do this I have no clue but I blew on the dust and these guys moved out so fast that I nearly fell off the porch trying to get away! And then I had to make sure that I wasn't imagining things so I took several shots but I was shaking so bad this was the only one that turned out! Yeah, I know, I am a big baby! Mind you the maintenance guy was almost rolling on the ground he was laughing so hard! And Alex will not even look at this! and hated me telling him the story!
Anyway, I had to cut a lot of the webbing from this because it was about 6" long and the spiders didn't show well...but this one is for you Andrea, hope the story gives you a bit of a smile! Maintenance very carefully removed them from where they were because I am always there feeding the birds and squirrels, he used a branch with leaves to move them down to the garden right by the porch so mama can find them. Btw, argiope spiders are common garden spiders. Large file, zoom if you wish, ewwwwwww!!!
Thanks for looking and for previous comments and favs!

FABULOUS! What a lovely surprise, Lynn! I had a batch of these hatch on my car when I had a yellow Volvo, and they matched perfectly. Your story made me laugh so much!

Fantastic picture! About spiders: I must say I don't like them since I had a "bad accident" when I was 6 year old. Sandra (Sandra46 is my sister) and I were playing and of course arguing about something when Sandra saw a nest of these small yellow spiders and threw it on my head! OMG, all that small spiders running on me! Since that time there has been a truly dislike between me and (maybe?) spiders.

What a lot of babies! They have cute black splotches on their backsides.I like spiders, though I'm not too keen on having them land on me unawares (or even awares for that matter). I love your story and laughed when I read it. I can perfectly see your mad attempt to get away. I did my own version of it some years ago at my mom's house. My mother has a lot of tall pines around her house which are the preferred home of tree roaches. Tree roaches are huge and brown and ugly. They have another bad trait which I did not know about as I crept up on one that was sitting on a ceiling beam in my mother's living room. With bug spray at the ready, I crept forward. Then I learned that they could fly. It flew right at me. I squealed, the bug spray went flying and my feet tried in vain to keep up with the rest of my body which was attempting to make a fast exit. Needless to say, the roach got away, and I landed on my ass. No pictures were taken, though I chuckle to think of what one of me in desperate retreat mode would have looked like.
