Title: Halloween spider
Post by: Chuck on Oct 17, 14, 12:52:11 AM

My daughter called me today to see this great spider as she was putting up Halloween decorations.  The body is the size of a dime with long legs, scary looking.  I still have it.

What is it??

My guess would be some type of orb spider; but it's just a guess.  I had a cat face orb spider in my yard a couple of years ago.  But alas, a fan of spiders I am not.
