The golden orb weaver spider featured in the first five photos is the spider I find to be most fascinating. The heavier zigzag web closest to its body is sticky, which allows the spider to capture and stun its prey with a quick bite, then to wrap it in silk. With venomous insects, the wrapping precedes the bite, which seems illogical, but must indicate that the spinning is a rapid process. Only 1/2 of all spiders , including the tarantula pictured above, do not spin webs, but all produce silk.

Good pics. I would imagine as big as the insects are down there you need big spiders. I don’t mind web-type spiders in the house, but those runners, jumpers, etc. get me a little nervous so I try to trap and release them outside.

Yes. I’m the same. I don’t mind them behind pictures or on webs outside but not too fond of them in my bed.
