Mama spiders with their brood on their back. And - these are two different spiders! Found one floating in the pool - took some pictures, then removed her from the pool. Thirty minutes later, there was another one in the water. We think they are wolf spiders - but not sure. Fascinating and gruesome at the same time. One more picture below with a floating cricket next to the spiders - to share with you how BIG these mama spiders are!! Ugh!
Now for some cute wildlife!!!
Two tiny frogs on our pool deck this week. From a distance, they looked like pea-gravel - til they hopped. Two more pictures below with my thumbnail in the shot - for scale.

What wonderful shots -- every one of them!
ReplyDeleteThe frog is adorable and the spiders are fascinating! Great pictures. How did you get so close to your subjects or do you have a fabulous zoom on you camera?
