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.
I have seen the most unusual spiders since moving to Mexico 15 years ago. The one little black and white triangular spider, I’ve spotted at least 3 different times in the past 15 years and they always have an uneven number of legs. Must run in the family as it can’t be possible that the same spider has lived for 15 years. The Golden Orb Weaver spider is my favorite. It weaves the most interesting web. This one remained in this spot where I saw it every day on the way to my car for over a month.
