We love these spiders here. We watched one all last summer. We saw her catch a red wasp and a bumble bee. She made a huge egg sack and we got to see all of them hatch. It was a great experience for our kids.

I recently met this spider for the first time, too, Skinner. It was so close to the same color of the plant it was standing on, I didn't even see the spider until I was looking at my photos later ... I had to troop back out and look for it again so I could take a better picture!
