Always Learning

I learned something new today.  Not only are there black widow spiders, there are also brown widow spiders.  I saw a spider today, and it looked ominous.  I wondered if it could possibly be a brown recluse.  Those are awful spiders.  It reminded me of the way a black widows look with the round bodies, spindly legs, and I noticed a bright, distinct color on her underside.

I tried to get her picture, but she'd captured this palmetto bug (nice name for what looks like a large cockroach,) and the wind kept blowing them around, making it difficult to get a photo that wasn't blurry. Her hourglass was a bright orange/copper color.


It's good to learn new things.
