1. I have no problem with spiders, they always build a city on my ceiling even if I sweep them away and relocate them outside the house. argh!

   • Absolutely they have to be outside!

     • yup but somehow I accommodate them for weeks inside my room. then when cleaning time they have to vacate.

       • Yikes well good luck with that problem

         • Exactly, it is very common here because under the roof is their safest place for webbing.

2. It’s been a few months, none of them visited or lived in my garden

   • I always see one of these garden spiders every year.

     • They love you more, much more than they love me.

       • Well, it just takes patience like anything else to sit there and slowly photograph them. I never touch the spider. I keep my distance.

         • That’s right, but it seems like its already a year no spider visited my trees.

3. What a beautiful Orb Weaver. I have one. 😉 He hatched this spring. He or she could stretch out on my pinkie tip. He didnt of course. Now it is full grown and happy. Still in the same place.

   • In a previous post one of us posted, I talked about why I don’t weed under that plant. lol told ya I had spiders there.

     • Yes I remember Kim. This first photo was the garden spider o the fence. The other was in my garden close to my house. They like to get around my hydrangea for some reason.

4. Spiders are our friends. The amount of bugs they remove from the world alone makes them friends.

   • Yes they are Doc, that was the message I was trying to get across.

5. I have lots of huge spiders in my garden. They are similar to the one in the photo but hairy as well. I leave them alone since they are beneficial.

   • Yikes, the hairy ones give me chills to look at. 🙂 Not is a good way but I just look and keep my distance. They are helpful for sure.

     • Good to see you by the way.

6. There are lots of spiders around in the UK in September. It’s a terrible time to be a fly!

   • You are so right, they definitely eat the bugs.

7. I’m terrified of them….but I won’t kill them. I just get as far away as I can. Great photo!

   • Sorry about that Courtney. Did you know they are probably more scared of you?

     1

     • I’m sure they are, that seems to be the case with most of these kind of things. They just creep me out mostly. When I first got married, my husband and I saw a huge spider that jumped….that was really freaky!

       • And that probably is a flashback for you.
         Have a good weekend.

         • Yes, it still is….I still get shivers when I think of it.
           Thank you….hope you have a good weekend too!

    • Absolutely no spiders inside. 🙂

15. I’m not afraid of them! They look very nice in photos and I always liked to take picture of them. I’m fascinated by their weaver skill! Great pictures, Carol!
