Spidey's new home!
I was sad I didn't see Spidey on its web and so I hoped she was still nearby. Behold, 2 bushes down, a brand spanking new web.

My friend, Spidey, with a juicy lunch. Swipe to see what is threatening her web. A nearby native aster that volunteered in my garden.

What is this? A beautiful caterpillar. Yes, but I need to know more! This black swallowtail caterpillar can form a chrysalis and delay its development in order to overwinter when the nectar it feeds on is unavailable. Amazing, right?

Fall seems to be the easiest time to look at spiders. There are webs everywhere. This one has been on this web on my hydrangeas for at least a week. See where it has repaired and strengthened the web! So cool.
