Spiders!

Smokestack and I recently found three "pet" spiders at our house. Unlike most people, we like them. It's really neat to throw a grasshopper in the web, then watch the spider run to it, wrap it up and bite it. Then they leave it alone, letting the poison take effect, before coming back for a meal. It's really fascinating.



Unfortunately, the biggest of our three arachnids decided to stretch a web across the back door. Having neglected to inform Stonewall of this fact, he accidentally dropped in for a visit, and neither web nor spider now exist.

EEK! Quiver! Lover of History/Science would LOVE it but we would take a picture and post it! He is talking reptiles, but I think a Geocache is a much better choice...Whatcha think?
