Spiny orb weaver




These guys have been building webs every night across our walkway.  Every morning I either see the web and duck, or get a facefull of web.  The spiders themselves look really creepy.  They scuttle around like a crab, and they have these spines on their big backs.  They're spiny orbweaver spiders...see here.  Supposedly they're related to Charlotte of E.B.White fame.




(by the way, did you know that Charlotte's Web is a type of medicinal cannabis plant?  The things you learn from Wikipedia...)
