Argiope roll call

Molt Mate Murder lady in the lantanas

Despite our rough February storm (or because of it?), we've had a lot of nice surprises in our Wildscapes. Like an abundance of yellow garden spiders (Argiope aurantia). This summer, we have FIVE females! For the first time, I've observed males on most of the webs, too. I can't wait to see how many egg sacs they all turn out.
