Wind was up today... so I stayed in the back yard behind a six foot privacy fence. The heat down here has really got the bugs hopping. Thanks for looking. MM

    Is the plant bug the Red/Black one? That spider was upside down under a leaf, i need to start taking yoga... I think it might help make me a little more flexable. :o) MM

    Me TOO... It was just sitting there.... Then it struck a pose! Almost like it was trying to scary me away. MM

    I have alot of those spiders in my back yard. They seem to love my citrus trees. Where my home is built used to be a citrus plantation, so we have old growth trees in the back yard. Pink Grape Fruit, Navel Orange, and a newly planted Tangalo tree. MM

    Not sure if you have these rust colored DF's where you are, but I find them very difficult to get close too. Most times I try sneaking up on them they fly away. MM

    Are you speaking of the spiders eyes or the ones the spider is eating. :o) MM
