I thought the toad might be trapped in the drain but after I performed a "rescue" he/she promptly returned to this safe/damp/bug infested location.

No matter how charming they are, do not have sex with them, they'll rip your head off.

Looks like an orb weaver of some variety. Mos def not a widow.

gtown · 06-12-2017, 03:28 PM

yeah, definitely think it's an orb weaver - first time I've seen one like this, usually we see a yellow/black one that is at least twice this size

They're a lot easier to capture when they're tiny.

I put'em in my hat.

The only picture missing is the one where I took a hammer and flattened the whole package inside the hat.

Hmm...

I don't understand how he doesn't fall off the tree with balls that big.

The guy that took the picture said she was sitting on eggs, and he was running up and down the tree with leaves from the ground to build a nest.

From zero to gone, all the advantage goes to the bush tailed rat. Owls... not known for their pounce.

I don't think Hulk Hogan is that fast but I sure as hell wouldn't get in his face.

But, known for their punch. Popdigr was in a treestand once and had an owl come in and punch his hat off his head. They literally make fists with their talons, and punch. Popdigr said it was a helluva lick.

Shot it out of pity...

Gravdigr · 07-05-2017, 02:45 PM

Wow. Never seen that before.
