She caused a little excitement around here for a few minutes. I don't know my arachnids so I can't identify her but I assume thats a belly full of babies there.

I don't care for spiders so if you managed to do that with a picture.... great job. Nice sharp details and colors.

Aug 23, 2005 23:44 | #4 Those are great spiders! They eat 10 times their weight in mosquitos a day. Not sure of their name but whenever possible let them live. They might just save you from West nile or some other mosquito disease. Christopher J. Martin

MaureenSouza Ms. MODERATOR Something Spectacular!  More info | Aug 24, 2005 13:42 | #6 Looks like an orb spider of some kind with a sac of baby orbs......harmless and great bug eaters. I think they are fascinating....Hope you watch for the hatching and get some more photos as fabulous as these. Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

Arraneous gemmoides is what is looks like to me, I catch these guys and use their silk, they're great to have around your house to eliminate flies and mosquitos.

Nice shot of a cool spider. I can't ID it though.
