I thought the toad might be trapped in the drain but after I performed a "rescue" he/she promptly returned to this safe/damp/bug infested location.

No matter how charming they are, do not have sex with them, they'll rip your head off. :mg:

Looks like an orb weaver of some variety. Mos def not a widow.

yeah, definitely think it's an orb weaver - first time I've seen one like this, usually we see a yellow/black one that is at least twice this size

Orchard Orbweaver.

Man.

How fast you reckon he was going?:3_eyes:

They're a lot easier to capture when they're tiny.

I put'em in my hat.

The only picture missing is the one where I took a hammer and flattened the whole package inside the hat.

Fuckers. FLAT fuckers. See ya next year.

Hmm...

I don't understand how he doesn't fall off the tree with balls that big.

I don't think Hulk Hogan is that fast but I sure as hell wouldn't get in his face.;)

But, known for their punch. Popdigr was in a treestand once and had an owl come in and punch his hat off his head. They literally make fists with their talons, and punch. Popdigr said it was a helluva lick.

Shot it out of pity...

Wow. Never seen that before.
