The BLOB

amideutch · May 16, 2009

I was going down to my mail box to get the paper and as I passed my Pompass Grass bush I notice a blob hanging from leaves. Upon closer inspection this is what I found. Ami

EEEEEEEWWWWW!!!!

Well, you'll have fewer flies... I really don't mind spiders as long as they don't jump out at me or crawl on me when I didn't invite them to.

Yesterday, I saw many tiny praying mantis babies less than 1cm long in my herbs... I'm encouraging them so they can eat other beasties!

For two years in a row, I found a blob like that on my back deck! No blob so far this year.

Eeewww! I've never seen that before. I don't particularly like spiders, but I learned to let them be since they really are good guys in the garden.

Interesting! They are color-reversed from my "Charlottes" of the garden, aka garden spiders. Ours are big & mainly black with vivid yellow markings. They spin large perfect webs - I like tossing them a moth or fly & watching them wrap 'em up & slurp 'em down.
