Here’s A Spider

How do you balance work and home life?

Actually, here are a few spiders. Happy Saturday.

When I see a daddy longlegs, I’ve got to high five at least one leg.

This is Katherine I. She was my friend. She was fierce. She was an Orb Weaver. She made her home on my porch a few years ago. I watched her repair her web every morning. It was fascinating. She lived well into December of that year and left two egg sacs, which I moved to a safer place. I miss her.

RIP, Katherine I. She lived until mid December of that year. I promised her I would take care of her babies and move them to a safer place for the winter. And when she died, I scooped her up and put her in this tissue, and then buried her in front of her clematis vine home.
Katherine’s web. This is a typical feature of an orb weaver’s web. They are very large webs, taking up the spanse between the two porch poles.

Me looking for Katherine while taking photos of my wig – we were friends and all, but I didn’t want an orb weaver in my hair. Respect where respect is due.

      1. Hahaha! I keep waiting for my phone to tell me that I just need to stop. It’s out of control. But it never tells me that so I go on with my addiction 🤣

    1. Nope! I like daddy long legs. When I was a little, my mom told me they don’t bite. And they don’t. I rescue spiders in my house pretty much every day in the spring. I do not like them in my shower and they must leave. I’m not afraid of any insects, but I despise maggots. They’re disgusting.
