Notes From Her Outdoors

I love the great outdoors. There's a lot out there to keep me fascinated.

Throughout 2010 I attempted to blog every new thing I saw as it came into season, wandered past me, or was found hiding in a sneaky niche.

Now I have the task of naming all the life I recorded - life was never sweeter.

This year I'm recording the things that catch my eye. and hopefully, will catch yours too.

Wish me luck, I'm going out!

Spider - Tuesday 29.3.11


 Today at a customers, I came across a gang of unusual SPIDERS. Not a BATHTUB SPECIAL. No, this was mottled, brown and maroon, and very shiny, with fancy leg markings.


It's a Steatoda grossa,, FALSE BLACK WIDOW - and they BITE, not that this little lady was in a nippy mood.


Not only did I find 3 females living in this old chest of drawers in a shed, but there was also a couple of MALES. Here's one - get a load of those legs.
