So in Cima, we could spy migrating tarantulas on the road from twenty or thirty feet away. They were big, they were hairy, they freak most people out. I kinda like them. Here, our slugs are giant and can be spied from a long way away, but our spiders are not that impressive, usually. They're mostly small and we're lucky that many of them spin their webs in places where we can watch. Darcy and I watched a spider spin its web strand by strand. It's pretty darn cool.
Occasionally, however, our spiders -- I don't know -- throw parties? I have no idea, but here's what they do:
We saw this line of spiders on the outside wall of our garage. I was pretty impressed. Each of them was probably about three inches across with those long, long legs. I was watching them and then noticed their friends:

Whoa!!! What kind of spider is that?
No idea! I'd name them the crowd-loving long-legged hair spider myself.
the first picture amused me, but, I must admit, the second one gave me the willies. I mean it, serious willies. I may have to wait a while to come back to your blog so I don't see that picture again.
