More scary spider pics!!

I know, it's a quilting blog. But this is just too cool! And spiders spin silk and weave webs and that's fiber/textile related, right?? The kids threw a wormy thing into the spider web and she ate it!! We looked it up and she is a she. Males are small (and there is NOTHING small about her!) and plain.

I'm pretty proud of this pic. I was about 2 feet away (which was way too close!) and the camera still got a pretty good focus. This is the beginning of the meal.


And this is quite a while later. Poor wormy thing!

She hung out on the porch all day. Tried to feed her a big cockroach this evening but she wasn't interested. I guess she's full! We'll see if she's still around in the morning. Her web got pretty messed up today, she's gonna need another one. We had all the neighbors over looking at her and showed everybody else we came across a video of her. We're pretty easily entertained.
