Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN




This scary guy spent quite a bit of time crawling across the sidewalk in front of our sliding glass door. I think he was trying to wish us a Happy Halloween. After some research I found that it's called a Shamrock Orb Spider. Now having spent an hour looking at spider pictures I feel like my skin is crawling. Just thought I'd share the creepy crawlies with all of you!

How big was that thing? It looks pretty big to me or was that a close up shot. Ughhhhh, I am not normally afraid of spiders but I think I would have peed myself if I actually saw that one.

It's a little bigger than life size.... It was actually about the size of a quarter including it's legs. I can't believe I got so close to take a picture. I am terrified by spiders, but this one was moving so slow that I didn't think it was going to "get me"!

You are a far braver woman than I Suze, but I must admit from a very far and safe distance that is....its really unique with its markings and color....but, keep it Franklin Twp!
