H O L Y C R A P


It's outside the office here. At lunch I watched it catch and eat some bug. Holy crap, that is the biggest darned thing I have ever seen. It makes my skin crawl.

It's a Writing Spider. Easily 2 inches long and at least 4 inches diameter. Something flew into its web. I didn't even see it move, it was at the bottom of the web and instantly began to wrap it up. about 20 seconds later, it TOOK it to the center of the web effortlessly. There I watched it spill some goo on its prey and then devour it.

My skin is crawling.
