The Orb Weavers Are Back

Pin It
 
It's been far too many years since I've seen orb weavers in my garden.

I've been afraid they might not ever return.

This morning I was happily surprised to find this huge dew-laden web glistening in the morning sun.



Then I encountered not one, but two actual spiders merrily wrapping up breakfast and mending their webs.


Quite a cause for celebration.

And very well-timed for Hallowe'en.

Those spiders are scary. I had tons of them last summer, a few this summer. Never had them before. Scarier than any daddy longlegs I've ever seen.

But yes, they do weave a pretty orb.

Beautiful captures, Christine, whether we are fond of spiders or not! They do weave a lovely orb! Hope your week is going well!!

That's a wonderful shot of the dewy web strung across the fall leaves. I like spiders and appreciate their predator work in the garden.
