Another spider




I have been told that this is an ordinary garden variety spider that eats lots of mosquito's. It was huge. A friend said that if the spider weaves a pretty "Charlotte's web" type of web that they generally are not poisonous. However if they weave messy webs they may be poisonous. How interesting.

Look what Hannah found


We are switching places with the girls, camper wise and Hannah moved the spare tire from under the 5th wheel and both the snake skeleton and the live black widow were on the underside. I am so glad she did not get bit. Look at the two huge egg sacks by the skeleton. Ick. Millions of baby black widows would be in there.


I blew this up so it would be closer but of course its blurry now but look how big her bottom is. Do you think its full of eggs? I am glad we caught these in time before we were infested. There seem to be many more spiders here in south Texas than where we came from.
