CREEPY!


This web has been outside our front door for a few days.
Today was the first day I could actually see the spider spinning this web. The web is about 5 feet long. It's huge. So I go to take a look at this spider and I see this strange thing.. kinda looks like
a crab! It's got these orangish/redish spikes on it's back.
YUCK!

VERY creepy!! But isn't it cool how delicate but strong those webs are? As long as they're OUTSIDE my house, I'm always fascinated by them. The webs. Not the spiders. *shudder* Especially that weird one!
