For the last month or so we have been intrigued by the activities and intricate webs of an orb-weaver spider on our back porch.Tonight we got a couple pics for your enjoyment. I wish I had been running video instead because as soon as I approached the spider with the camera he raced madly across the web to nab a fly.
Seconds later he did the same thing when another insect got caught. He was smart enough to have built his web around the porch light so he has quite the feast every night. I have named him Boris.
On the ground just a few feet away from him sat the toad that has been frequenting our lawn and porch. I had been looking for him to no avail tonight when I finally found him staring at me from a shadowed corner of the porch. His name is Barnabas.
