Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Spiders

Literally ran into this one’s silk and started carrying her along.
Zebra Jumping Spider, fairly common, which may be because they are relatively easy to identify.
Six-spotted Orbweaver, although I could only get pictures from the underside. About eye-level in a tree.
Common Spitting Spider. A neighbor.
Pholcus genus spider with something else alive. Actually, this larval (?) may have got the better of the contact: the next day, two spider legs were still attached to it, and it moved several inches.
Wolf spider, I think.

    Good morning. Spiders aren’t my favorite but they fascinate me.
