We had what appears to be a common garden spider camped out for several weeks on the side of the garage. During the day it would hide in the space between the clapboards and the back of the electric meter. And at night, I would bring out one of my photo lights and take pix of the ever-growing spider.
At first I thought it was pregnant, but from doing some research I think it was feeding in order to fatten up for winter. I got to watch some unlucky insects get consumed. It's abdomen was growing so fast that it must have gotten its fill. The spider disappeared by Halloween. These photos were taken on October 26.
