Black and Yellow But Not a Bee

OMGoodness yellowgal ~ I did not see 'the lady' at all, until your description! Well done!!

This is a beauty, David. I have seen butterflies this year I haven't noticed before. Must be something different in the atmosphere....................

Oh my, she is lovely, David. How lucky you were to have had her visit for a few days! The markings on the back of her body make me see a lady looking at us thru a mask, wearing a long black dress, and her hands on he hips : - )))

You receive many interesting guests david-of-the-numbers.......this one seems especially cuddly......
Hanne, It's nice that you have a special room for your spiders!......

Oh, she is beautiful, would like to have her in a corner!! We have a lot of Pholcus Phalangioides and they do a very good job. Not long ago we were visited for some days by a person who doesn't like spiders at all, so we caught so many as we could and put them into a special room and closed the door! Thanks so very much David!!

I'm glad you appreciate her, morris! I think many people will shudder to see this one. This spider had a lovely velvety texture on the black and gold parts and a soft furry head. She set up on the garage door jamb and didn't move for a few days. They are always so patient!

She is nicely colored, david!

Many unusual spiders, several unusually large, have made their appearance lately. There must have been an extra big crop of little bugs this summer!
