lol Tex ~ I talk tough! Like I could even touch a grasshopper, let alone send him to a certain death!! The spider moved a leg when I took the pic & I almost fell off the steps!!
Twoclubs~Thanks for stopping by, always a pleasure to see you. Surreal~Thanks for the info, I got to google it! This is a female & probably ready to do some egg laying! I hope she is there next week so I can try the grasshopper game!
Great times by you both!
That's a Yellow and Black Garden Spider. My favorite spider. Totally harmless to people but great with bugs. I love driving them crazy by catching grasshoppers and placing them in the spider's web. They go nuts with the first grasshopper, wrapping it in webbing faster than the eye can follow. They wrap the second grasshopper a little more slowly. For the third grasshopper, they slowly meander up to the grasshopper, and wrap it in a half-hearted way. By the forth grasshopper, the spider won't budge from it's spot. It'll just stare unhappily at me.
