RE: Spiderday - Odds and Ends for the Garden

in Arachnids3 years ago

Happy Spiderday. I will have to start paying closer attention to spiders so I can keep up with your posts. It was very interesting last week when I was clearing some weeds in the yard, I saw lots of spiders and ants. Seems like they are out ahead of the other insects this spring. I love the colorful garden spider. I will be watching for the distinctive web thats new info to me.

Sort:  

There's quite a few different types of argiopes with each subspecies making a different zig zag pattern in the middle of their web. Keep an eye out for the tiny ant mimics if your ants are out already. This fall I suspect you may have a few decent looking spiders to post from your garden.
