check out the pet we inherited with our house! *updated!!*

[Joemonkey]

She has been here since we bought the place, we call her Charlotte

the web will be half torn down from wind one day, and the next day she has it built up better than before, it's pretty crazy

at least she keeps the annoying bugs off our deck

Very cool, pretty spider, as long as it is not on me

 

[rudeguy]

[Howard]

[bleeb]

Coo Coo

 

[Joemonkey]

anyone have any idea what kind it is? I'm not sure if the flash skewed the color or not.... wish my cam had a macro lens

 

[Descartes]

Spiders are able to adapt their web to the surrounding environment quite nicely. I read a study where the spiders would actually adapt their web (i.e. reinforce) around more "successful" points; in other words, where it caught more prey. They placed a fly in the same place every time, and eventually that portion of the web was extremely reinforce and the rest was rather thin.

You obviously don't live with women... none that I've known, at least.

 

[richardycc]

my gf would freak out beyond believe if she sees something like that on my porch.

 

[Beau]

The worst thing will be the day you come out and you don't see its web. You start wondering "now where did it go". And then you walk directly into its new web with it stuck on your face....

Sorry I hate spiders

 

[Shawn]

I hate spiders but that one is pretty cool. I still wouldn't let it live anywhere near my house though...

 

[GoingUp]

:Q Its huge!

 

[boi]

I have a question for you spider people, I had a huge spider going from my house to my neighbors house. The spider was about 1.5 inches. The distance between the houses is 20 feet and our houses are two stories high. How the fvck do they get the web across 20 feet?

The spider is gone now, I kept wetting it with my hose so I guess it moved somewhere else

 

[SSP]

I sure hope its not a brown reclouse (sp?).

You're right, it did move somewhere else. It's living under your bed. Don't you feel it's crawly legs at night?

I was going to make a comment about you wetting the spider with your hose, but decided I was too polite to mention it.

 

This is a war! However...it seems to get rid of more insects for you.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
