So, last night I went out to the movies and left poor Mary home alone — it was a creepy movie, she doesn’t like that sort of thing — and she found her own entertainment. She found a spider in the garden! When I got home around 9 she had to send me out to take a picture of it and identify it.
That’s the Eastern Long-Legged Cobweaver, Theridion frondeum, that I’ve seen many times around here, but they’re very pretty.



The bulbous part looks, to me, like an artistic Easter egg or my hair line.
I can’t decide.
What movie?
if you read the abdomen as a winking face, it’s alien cheesecake, and the legs are like a chorus girl with extras. hubba hubba.
Now I cannot unsee that!
