There was a jumping spider on my car today at a project site. It was a curious one, almost the size of a US dime.altr

    Every one of these I find inside gets relocated to the garden… unless its winter, then they get a tour of the potted plants.

      There’s a spring nearby so the local treefrogs and anoles eat everything smaller than a mouse. The only spiders that survive are aforementioned orb weavers and I think they spend more time trying to catch me, as I’m taking out the garbage and barely awake, than eating insects.

        Nothing worse than walking out in the middle of the night with the dog and getting a face full of orb Weaver web…
