Another hard worker

Rain or shine, dawn to dusk, holding on in spite of windstorms, baking sun, meddling neighbours . . .

this big cross spider stretches out her nets and waits, prepared to pounce.

She's obviously a successful hunter; she's big, about an inch long, fangs to spinnerets, not counting the legs. Broken threads in her web show where struggling prey has torn it. Off to the side, a green leafhopper, nicely trussed, waits for suppertime..

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
