webnesday, episode 23 (common house & garden edition)
Eriophora pustulosa isn't particularly exotic, fierce or colorful. i've mentioned it here a few times, having had one living in my kitchen, tracked a cryptic one down on a tree, and observed one dining in mid-air. but it's a nice chunky spider (with a great latin name), large enough to get a decent look at with the naked eye and common enough to be a familiar friend. this one in particular was spinning an ill-fated web between the recycling bin and a tree.
but ?she was easier to see once gently relocated to the slightly brighter background of the bin lid.
