While digging bulbs -I found this orange pumpkin thinking hes another plastic toy I have found in the soil- suddenly I SCREAM !

With poking at this thinking he was a plastic toy pumpkin- I about died when I seen legs- yep I need glasses too! I hate spiders!!! I still get chills !

YUCK! The guys got him up on the truck & I photographed him -I never have ever seen one before!.with Halloween around the corner-and being a bright orange the grandkids thought was kewl!

His transportation to his new home!


I just found this lovely in Novi, Michigan. From the sounds of it, they aren't normally here. She's beautiful!

I believe this is a Marbled Orb Weaver - found in Waconia, MN
