You may remember that last year I posted pics of a large spider that had spun a web on our deck next to the hummingbird feeder - named Beatrice. Well, she left an egg sac, which we wondered if it would survive our harsh winter temps & snow/ice.
Well -- YES -- the daughter of Beatrice, named Beatrice Jr. -- or B2 -- has appeared on the deck and spun an enormous orb web hanging over the geranium pots. We sat on the deck and watched her construct the entire web without pause - approx. 3' in diameter, in around 30 minutes. I've got some pics of her, and am experimenting on lighting to get a good shot of the web. Too tired tonight to mess with photos, but will post some this weekend.
She has the same banded legs as her mom!
