Field Notes

Description:

Large spider with predominant abdomen.

Habitat:

Lower mainland, BC, Canada

Notes:

These guys were all over our garden just a little over a week ago. I suppose they are all getting ready to got to sleep for the winter also because lots are getting into the house probably looking for a place to spend the winter. They build large webs and are very shy, even me walking by makes then retreat to the outskirts of their webs. I enjoying them now while they're still here because in a couple weeks they will be all gone.
