IAAC - Day 135 The Heavy rain drove the spiders out of their Dens
Today is Thursday, October 14th and I am happy to be alive.

I don't know what type they are but every year about this time I see them on the roads and walking paths. I bet there are a lot more around that I am not seeing. I think these are the males. The females I believe are about twice this big.
I know this sounds weird, but that is so cool that you have them around you LOL
Not weird at all. I usually k on n see them twice a year early spring and about this time of year. They can be very shy
