This very neat creature was found by my two arachnologists in our very own back yard. We took it tonight with us to Red Lobster, where my oldest son preceded to name it and tell everyone it was highly poisonous. It was contained, just so you know. I told him we would get home and google the info on it...He was mis-informed. It is not a crab spider and it is not highly poisonous. This is a Spiny-Backed Orb Spider. Very common in Houston/and surrounding area gardens. Healthy gardens, that is us...Woohoo!
Enjoy this picture of God's most amazing creature.
why does Cody have to make "funny" face when taking a picture? That kid!
ReplyDeleteNice looking, creeky spider.. looks like something for halloween!
At 8 years old he notices his crooked smile and has been teased alot lately so he is trying to make it as straight as possible. He even stands in front of the mirror trying to make it straight, I feel for him...I tell him all the time he is special and God made his cute, quirky smile and it is all his.
