Does anyone want a big spider? I have one living in an empty pot by my door. Other than a Daddy Long Legs, that is the biggest spider I have seen. The spider is about half the size of my CrackBerry. It hangs out in the same drain hole every day, ready to pounce on an unsuspecting meal, and in the evening, it comes out to hang out. His fangs are too big for me to be relocating it, so unless someone comes to collect it, it will have a nice home in my pot. Note to thieves, also watch out for the wasp nest hiding in the oak tree which you have to brush against to get to the steps.

Well it is Florida, lets have a recount!

You can keep your pets/pests.

As long as they're not dead, I don't mind. I crossed paths with a 5-foot cottonmouth on my (his) property recently. We decided to leave each other alone. I have several alligators and welcome more. I'm sure they're aware that if I need to, I will eat them. I'm also pretty sure they do everything they can to help keep my belly full.

Nice "visitor deterrent system"

Only someone from UGA would recognize it, right?

Sounds like the spider from Arachnophobia. Do you and Kurt have the same exterior decorator?

It gets a little more buggy north of 98.

I've seen much smaller CRUSTACEANS! (I was gonna say crabs, but decided not to open that can...)

When we got up this AM, hubby looked out onto the patio, and there was a huge hawk perched on the umbrella, staring at the koi pond. We've never seen a hawk out there before (deer, yes). Thankfully, we just bought a bunch of pond plants, so the fish could hide.

The koi are so cute. When they see us coming with their food container, they swim towards us.

Ever since the snake story, I never go to the pond without checking it out for snakes. Thanks, GRS.

The spider died. I'm beginning to think that maybe it was stuck in the planter and couldn't crawl out because it is glazed (too slippery).

That's what happens to spiders that happen to end up crawling into our bathtub on the first floor.

I think that is what we call a Wolf Spider or a Wood Spider. They make good pets. It's like the one that came to visit us in the livng room every evening to watch TV with us. He became part of the family.
