It was then that I noticed a somewhat stationary dot probably about 25 feet up in between the dark shadows of a pair of trees next to the house. Sure enough, it was a spider, apparently setting up shop as it seemed to be moving back and forth rather nimbly. Couldn't tell what it was in the darkness, but it was a pretty big one considering I could see it rather easily from ground level and basically was trying to stitch a web between the upper branches of two trees several feet apart. I did manage to catch a little better view from my daughter's bedroom window on the second floor, which was still a little bit below the spider's position, but it had some long legs and a thick abdomen.
Just thought I'd share.  |
Better make sure that your daughter doesn't wander into the web!
