The other spider picture of the day
The ancestral estate has a golden orb spider at the NW corner, a crab eating spider at the SE corner, and this writing spider at the SW corner. It’s at least 3" across, which makes it a good match for the golden orb spider at the NW corner.
The spiders down here are pretty, and huge; it’s another lure that calls me back towards New Orleans, which, given the batshit insane government that runs Louisiana, is a dangerous dangerous thing.
