Field Notes

Description:

Early morning, retreated from main web to the corner of a gutter to rest from an active night. Coaxed him out a couple inches for some pics but kept retreating into the corner. I guess I aggrivated him enough as he spit at me whatever he was eating here. Thought that was an interesting display.

Hummm, people must not like spiders at large. Not too many people vote on arachnids, but they sure keep things in balance for our human existence.
