​Mostly ‘piders, and my one chrysalis. 

Tigrosa that C brought me. Big girl…now residing happily amongst the rocks around the pond. She’s in a plastic bag, hence the blur. 

Big barn spider was busy constructing a web before my paint dried. 


Huuuuuge Hogna carolinensis that P spotted on the patio. Magnificent creature! 


Non-arachnid. Hopefully I’m going to get one Monarch out of this year. He’s on the patio. 


EDIT: 07 October. I took this yesterday, and want to post it, but it’d be lonely all by itself, so I’m adding it here. Scarlet Pumpernickel shows up in some odd places. This one is down by Gary’s burrow near the creek. I guess one seed didn’t compost!
