Cat Spider

Ever hear of a Cat Faced Spider? Me neither! But I found one on my back patio. No, I didn't kill it. I don't kill spiders that aren't dangerous or threatening. Here it is hanging out on the 2x6 rafter, so that makes it about 2" long. 2 inches long! You can't tell by the mess of old webbing around it but it also had a brand new 12" (or so) orb web constructed for that night's supper.



Here is the image flipped so you can better see the Hello Kitty abdomen. Cool huh?
