creepy crawly things

Just in time for Halloween... look what was in my backyard waiting to greet me this morning. It is a golden silk orb-weaver, or as many of us down here on the coast call it... a banana spider. This one was about the size of my hand, ACK! I must admit, he/she is rather pretty for a spider. BUT... it is still a spider all the same. *shiver*

Be safe and have fun this weekend! :-D
