She’s been hanging out on my computer desktop for a couple of months now, waiting for her P64 turn. Actually, she was hanging out at my sister’s house in Kansas when I found her back in October, and I thought she’d be perfect for an upcoming color.
Google tells me she’s a marbled orb weaver variety of spider. Not dangerous…to humans, and rarely bites. So, who wouldn’t want this attractive little lady hanging out, ridding your garden of pests?
Many people are afraid of spiders. I’m not one of them. While I give brown recluses and black widows a wide berth, I’ve been known to trap the other varieties found inside the house in a glass jar and let them loose outside.
I’m thinking you just might see her again tomorrow for Quotography: Wildlife. We’ll see.
Beautiful! We let the ones inside go back outside as well. But haven’t found any this pretty!

She is gorgeous especially since she’s a spider. My daughter is like you, capturing inside and releasing outside. I am less caring about many-legged (and not-so-many-legged) crawly critters.

It would creep out my daughters, but I find it fascinating.

Beautiful spidey. It’s the first time I’ve seen one with an interesting color.

I am one who is afraid of spiders…I’m getting better, but had a run in once with a brown recluse, and it wasn’t pretty.

Eek. I squirmed a little bit when you said she’d been hanging out on your computer desk… then I finally got what you meant. 🙂 That’s a BEAUTIFUL picture of a creepy subject. 🙂
