Here is a black widow spider I found under a rock in the garden. I put
her (along with the eggsack and her next meal) in a bug jar and refrigerated them
overnight. This slowed the spider down long enough for me to take pictures
without having to worry....too much.
October 14, 2002 Today out
in the field looking for garden stepping stones, most every rock I turned over
had one of these resting underneath.
More spiders
I was pulling weeds in the daylily bed....pulled this baby cornsnake up
instead:
Found this little guy in some moist
wood/bark pieces under a pallet of firewood:
Almost stepped on this Black Snake, I was walking towards an
OakLeaf Hydrangea looking through the view finder of the camera...oops:
ANOTHER black snake almost got stepped on this morning....he
was traveling through the grass:
September 25, 2002.....this morning I shoved a garden fork under
a clump of the daylily CONDILLA.....pulled it up.....along with this little one,
