Tangle me within your mystery…
The majestic Orbs are back…webbing themselves against the very exterior that was challenged by suds, jet-sprays of water and the swipe of a mop end just yesterday.
Determined. Undefeated. Casting their net against the hottest heat of the mid-day sun. Today I captured their tummy sides. Beautiful. Spellbinding. These frantic little engineers are on a mission and will not allow the minor inconvenience of a woman’s mop, the suds and flush of a jet sprayer to deter them. They will create their splendor before our eyes for one more day.
Meet the Orb. Hopefully, soon I will be able to correctly and fully identify which Orb family he is relative to, until then, check their beauty from the safety of your monitor.

I wouldn’t want them crawling on me but they are interesting creatures as long as they are outdoors. I get spiders on my patio stringing their webs every fall. They have very interesting striped legs. I call them my “Pippi long stockings”.
I find the large, beautifully colored spiders interesting, but the little ones set me on high alert. They are masterful speed demons!
I just can’t bring myself to kill these particular spiders. I’ve been busy packing up my in-laws home, digging into closets and drawers that have not been opened in no telling how long! I’ve yet to come across a spider or bug. I think that armory brigade from outside is watching out for me. LOL!

Are they as gigantic as they look?
Some of them are pretty big, but they are non-aggressive. They seem content to spin their web. They are amazing to watch!
