Those pics are fascinating! But still...ewww.
This is the time of year for spiders around the garden and in the house. Here the wolf spiders are trying to find water and they are coming in. The cats love to play with them, but they (the spiders) usually don't get out alive...and I wish I could say I was sorry, but I can't. I don't have a thing against spiders, but I do have a big aversion to wolf spiders. They are HUGE..and they don't make webs to catch their prey, they just catch them.
Lots of them around the pond and in the flowers and in the basement.
My close friend had a scare with a sore on her breast this summer. It kept getting worse and she had a terrible wound. Went to several doctors, had tests run, mammograms: the works. Went to the last doctor and she told her it was a spider bite. They had been to a church camp and she probably was bitten in the night and didn't know it. She was given appropriate treatment and is fine now, but a couple of the doctors thought she had some form of breast cancer....
