    Oh eewwww! :(

    I hope they are too! And given how phobic I am about spiders, I'm glad, in this moment, that you're several states away from me!

    I am "on the fence" about spiders too. I "like" them from afar. I think in general they are helpful in the garden, aren't they?

    Cool, Donna. I hope they eat lots of nasty things.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a clutch of spiderlings like yours as long as they were in the garden. If they were indoors they'd find themselves ousted pretty quickly.

    Nice to have them but they can be good and bad, they are not bothered what they catch.

    I like spiders. They eat way more pests than beneficials. Having said that, I don't like it much when they are close to the doors and make webs that hit you in the face on the way out in the morning LOL Have someone move them for you. Just stamp shake the web first and they will all run into a ball making it easier to move them all.

    Great foto. I also like seeing spiders in the garden, but my bride does not. I must catch them when she spies them and then toss them across the canal. Pity.
    I keep telling her that they catch mozzies too. :-?
