Ill. Friday
Theme Insect
Argyope Bruennichi, Abdundant in sunny meadows from July to September.
Female 10mm., male 3mm. Cocoon, containing up to 400 eggs, hung between blades of tall grass. Young hibernate in cocoon. After pairing the female devours the male.
As a child growing up in the south you become familiar with this spider. They are big and don't like to be disturbed. If you get close to the web she will start to rock the web back and forth. I have seen them jump off the web at you!

Yikes! I like the way you've made the little hairy legs! Good one, Joe... I don't think I'd like to see one, though, especially rocking its web and jumping at me!

Hey, very good work! - and story, as well.
Is not important, but spiders are not insects.
Insects have always six legs only - is one of their traits.
But, anyways, I liked your approach!

We called these Orb spiders where I grew up. I liked to drop a fly or grasshoper into the web ans watch the spider spin it up into a cocoon for safe-keeping.
