Brown Recluse at Midnight

Found in the closet Friday night as I was taking off my shoes. Time to clean out the dang closet!

Spider Tunnel in the Yucca

 These spiders live in tunnely webs among grasses and bushes and, in this case, a yucca.

I didn't see the second spider at the top of the tunnel until I looked at the photos . . . now that I've looked more, I think it's dead, and the other spider has taken up residence.

There is another one of these in the yucca by the front porch . . . the spider is recently gone, so now I'm waiting to see if someone else comes along and moves in.

 

The Black Wasps

These guys are all over this hanging plant on the porch . . . they might be living in it, for all I know. And they favor that one particular stem more than any other stem. What gives? Who are they? What do they like about it?!?

Hamilton on the Arch

This is more like a Maxfield Parrish painting than any photo I've ever taken. Thank you, beautiful evening.
