....and thanks to our new digital camera, finally I'm getting some good pictures of both :-)
Here is today's star subject, a Northern Black Widow spider munching on a hapless Tiger Beetle who was foolish enough to get caught in her web. He had lots of company - already neatly wrapped for future meals were several honey bees and a dragon fly! Not too many spider webs will hold a dragon fly, but I think this girl built her web to last.
My son Patrick, age 11, is a big fan of all things creepy and crawly as well, and arrived back at the house triumphantly from his own first hunting expedition with our new camera with this picture to show for his efforts:And finally, the snakes:

That's it for today!
