    Damon diadema bit me!

    Our five year old female was on the ground instead of on her cork bark, where she normally hangs out. Was worried about her so picked her up. She bit me, drawing enough blood that i had to get a napkin to stop it! Didnt mean to scare her. Hope she is ok. She is about 5 1/2 yrs old. She eats...

    What to put in web for orb weaver?

    Red, who made an egg but who keeps making small webs each night, seems hungry. Nothing is ending up in her web. I tried tossing 2 week and 3 week crickets into her web but they wouldnt stick. Cant find any flying bugs for her. Any suggestions? Thank you.—still traumatized by Charlottes Web

    Only orb weaver now very unusual

    Every dayand night, i check out our spiders outside. Only orb weaver i have seen for a month is Red. Am attaching her photo. Why are there so few orb weavers? Climate change? We live in CA and it has been extra hot. 90-115 F.

    Am frustrated by steatodas everywhere. Tiny ones get into screen topped tanks and menace my frogs and other critters including our phrynus.

    Orb weaver doing well in below freezing outside!

    Normally all our orb weavers outside die by now, on Central Coast of California. But one beautiful araneus, Charlotte, is still on our porch! Weather is dry and very cold, 24 to30 degrees. I am always so glad to see her every morning! Is her longevity unusual? Climate change or just luck?

    Injured pholcus

    Found a young pholcus with only four legs a week and a half ago.  Put him in a mesh cube with some melanogaster fruit flies. Have seen him drink water. Am so hoping he will grow and molt and get his legs back. Is this a realistic hope?
