Our garden is FULL of these menacing looking spiders. They are harmless though, and actually good for the garden because of all the pests they eat. I think I've probably counted a dozen of these webs and garden spiders, and I am sure there are more. Most of them are yellow and black like the one here, but I have also seen black and white with a little yellow. The webs are really quite neat.
Okay, we saw this snake on the road by our farm...lovely, isn't it? Can you hear my sarcasim? I'm not a big fan of snakes. Anyone know what kind this is?
It looks an awful lot like a bull snake. The only reason I know anything about bull snakes is because we had a snake problem at our old house. We had about 3 dozen IN our house, in ONE YEAR. I thoroughly enjoyed that. But hey, it made for some good blog material?!?! :) (I did a 2008 recap post and it has several links to "snake posts" that I wrote. Here's the link to the recap post! http://ourownlittlenest.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html Hopefully it doesn't give you the heebie jeebies! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you are right...it does look like a Bull Snake after seeing pictures. So sorry for your snake encounters...at least this one was outside!!
