Minneapolis, MN - Tyfoid Kid - Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006 : goo
Browsing articles by Tyfoidkid - [previous] :: [next]
So this guy showed up about 2 weeks ago. It would show up right at twilight and start building (or rebuilding depending on the wind and birds I guess.)
At first I wasn't sure I liked it building it's web across half my deck. It was big (3 across inches with the legs) and it had a stringer that was at least 10 feet off to the left on a plant. But since it was very Charlotte's Web like in it's punctuality I got to look forward to seeing it every night (even saved it from one of the cats who saw it and was going to pounce.)
It rebuilt the web every night.
and during the day it lived in our umbrella, in the folds at the top.
Now last night it wasn't there. I'll have to check the umbrella to see if it's moved on or what. Hope it's o.k. It's the little pet spider I never knew I wanted.

so long as it doesn't have a red 'hourglass' on its body...

If you take an empty 2-liter plastic bottle and whack the spider with it, you will have discovered one of my fave sports, "spiderball"!
