We like spiders also, except we do kill black widows and brown recluse.

I'm building outdoor stairs right now and this spider appears. I've never seen anything like it, lived in Virginia 68 years.
It would walk a little then jump. I took lots of pictures, then it looked at me. I guess it got tired of me and jumped on my face!
I ran in the house screaming like a little girl.
lol....that's funny, I just saw one of these the other day too, and thought WTF?? Never seen such a thing before. He was on my shed door. Reminded me of the black jumping spiders always hanging out in the mailboxes. Like it mutated or something....

Took these photos out my front window this morning. So far we have seen five fawns on our place this year. Two of them are twins.
We see them nursing occasionally but seldom when we have a camera on hand.

An intimate moment in nature.

I'm pretty sure there's another website for that kind of stuff...

Whitman's jumping spider?

It looked similar but hairier.

Speaking of spiders, this odd little fellow came to visit today. Kinda crab-like in appearance, with long (relatively..) front legs.
This is one of the culprits when you see spider webs seemingly coming from no where floating around. This little guy, when he's ready to go, will arch his little behind up in the air, and let a stream of web shoot up into the breeze, until it catches something, then off he goes. I followed one web string a good 50ft before I lost sight of it.
His body is only about 1/4" long, so he's tiny, but quite fascinating to watch.
