I ran into a really strange spider having a snack tonight. The spider was not as strange as its small iridescent blue web embedded within its larger web. The blue web almost appeared to glow. I have never seen anything like that before. Perhaps the spider had a lunch of fireflies earlier hence the glowing web??? Categories:Garden Pests Tags:spider Read more

I'm usually good when it comes to dodging spiders at night, but not tonight. You learn quickly to always look forward, not down when you are walking around in the dark or you will run smack dab into a spider web. Tonight I did just that, but fortunately it was more a side-swipe and the spider remained in his web. No big deal, it was just a small one anyways... Categories:Garden Pests Tags:spider Read more

Tonight's creature of the night is this rather interesting yellow garden orb weaver spider. Usually I find these things the easy way by running into their webs at night followed by the sensation of feeling 8 legs scurrying across my face!Maybe this will end up being a daily feature after all?
