My latest obsession I’m calling “ARACHNOAFFECTION”
Mabel Orb Weaver and Spiny Orb Weaver that live in my birdcage screen room. Don't be afraid, they're good guys. Hope you enjoy!

3. Like the photo and really like the collection.

I have a rather plain orb weaver above my bed. S/he catches the noseeums and the occasional mosquito so we have cordial relationship. I just have to sweep the old webs off the ceiling once a week or so.

I'll try to get an acceptable pic.

9. noseeums are their diet

nothing very large gets inside, unless while the door is open!

5. We must have twenty Orb spiders around our house.

They use orb spiders in nature shows about the jungle dangers. When in fact orb’s are very laid back. Much like tarantulas.

They are beautiful and colorful.

11. I love them, so small

We used to see larger "grove" spiders, but those are few and far between now, for some reason
