I decided to go outside and pick some prickly pears off my cactus plant...... this horrible looking spider was busy doing something....he/she had the web moving back & forth...(which was what caught my attention) I decided real quick like that I didn't really want any prickly pears afterall (without a doubt they were probably sour anyway).......but very bravely...I did inch closer & closer trying to get some shots....I have no idea what this spider was doing...I've never seen a spider creating the zig-zag design as you see in the pictures.....maybe just making his home sweet home where the prickly pears do grow....no need for him to worry about me knocking on his web asking to borrow a cup of prickly pears...he can have every last one of them ... there's not one greedy bone in my whole body : )) | |
