White Spider

I only saw this spider one day, September 24th. We had the yard torn up not long after this. In fact, the spider you'll see a few entries below was a protected specimen. When the men came to redo the yard, I showed each of them where the spider lived, and asked them not to mess with it.

The best part about this spider was that I saw it catch an insect and eat it. Unfortunately, the web was bouncing all over the place from the excitement, and the pix came out blurry. The spider literally sprinted across the web to snap up that bug.

This is the same species as the spider on the other side of the house (below). You can see how comparatively small their abdomens started out, compared to where it ended up by the end of October.
