My main Spider picture page is my "hit" leader. (OK, it was on my RR site!) Here is a new Argiope picture, along with some images of a spider yet to be identified. Hope you enjoy the photos! Also: new spiders.
 More Spiders! |  Spider & Web |
 NHAC Site Spider Jane and John B. say "...a long jawed orb weaver in the genus Tetragnatha." |  Close-up Orb Weaver Spider. Pretty Prickly! |
 Harvestmen - a ton of 'em from Wimberly. What are they up to? Info on these guys is here. Jane and John B., "...The harvestmen are not spiders, but someone was just writing about these congregations and the chemicals apparently exchanged that put the harvestmen in some sort of torpor."

Top View of Orb Weaver spider above... from the Starry Nights B&B
Jane and John B. say "The Top View is also an orb weaver but not an Argiope, ...likely in the genus Araneus or Neoscona." It looks a little like an Argiope, and it was within a few feet of the Big Argiope from last year. It's not doing the writing thing, though.
I'm not entirely happy with this image, and I'll re-do it when I have some time.
You have to see the other spider page if you haven't!
