Nighttime can be slow at the Colorado rattlesnake den. A cat-faced orbweaver (_Araneus gemmoides_) that spins a web each night has become a regular focus: https://youtu.be/ltHjFqE4OWI
Here she is catching and wrapping up a bug with impressive speed: https://youtu.be/uomRr4NqJCg
Regular viewers have named her Hello Kitty.

IT BEGINS
The first missing-sector orbweaver spiderling (_Zygiella_) of spring! I gasped and immediately got out my phone much to the bemusement of the neighbour who was putting out yard waste bags immediately in front of the fence the web was in.
Later (as I explained), this spider will start making webs with a distinctive slice cut out of them, with a signal line down the middle leading directly from the hub to its retreat.

Some arachnids from today:
- young _Mangora_ orbweaver
- _Naphrys pulex_ (I think?), considering some kind of hymenopteran
- and most excitingly, Trombidiidae that aren't _Allothrombium_! I'm not quite sure whether they're both _Trombidium_, the first one is oddly not velvety at all but more rough-textured, and more flat than plump, like Smarididae if it were trombidiid-shaped. I am going to upload the pics to BugGuide to see what the experts say.#DailySpiderPic #DailyMitePic #Mitestodon #arachnids #spiders #mites #Araneae #Araneidae #Salticidae #Acari #Acariformes #Parasitengona #Trombidiidae

#DailySpiderPic: night spiders!
A couple big _Larinioides_; a silky _Clubiona_ leaf-curling sac spider; and a running crab spider.
Most of the spiders out and about now were born last year and overwintered. They are reaping a plentiful bounty of midges (family Chironomidae), which have begun to emerge.

@JeffWestPhotography not a woodlouse spider but some kind of orbweaver (family #Araneidae)! Would need geographic location to properly ID it.

Have got back from a long-postponed outing to forage for seeds and berries for guerrilla native plant gardening! Goldenrod, milkweed, Virginia creeper, staghorn sumac, brown-eyed Susans, etc. I saw two cottontail rabbits and a few black-capped chickadees. Plus, this small orbweaver (_Zygiella_) nestled in a staghorn sumac (_Rhus typhina_) bob.

#Arachtober 29: didn't have time for a proper spider outing, so hopped over the garden wall to see what I could find in the yard—and almost walked right through this cross orbweaver's web strung between the dead coneflowers and columbines! As you can hopefully see in the close-up, her jaws are full of a big lump of mushed-up bugs.

#Arachtober 27: late October, we're getting frost warnings, but the orbweavers just keep on trucking. Taken just a few hours ago on a grocery run; the supermarket's large windows attract a lot of midges and are great scaffolds for the ubiquitous _Larinioides_ orbweavers.

#Arachtober 18: an Eastern parson spider (_Herpyllus ecclesiasticus_), a stealthy and fast-moving active hunter, feeding on a male _Zygiella_ missing-sector orbweaver. (This was right behind a female's web.) You can see the distinctive "knees" of the male's pedipalps in focus in the second picture.

#Arachtober 15: it's _Zygiella_ courtship season! The males hang around the edges of the females' webs, plucking and strumming rhythmically to communicate. Here's a male with his long "elbowed" pedipalps; a female; and a cobweb spider preying on an unlucky male suitor who got too close.

#Arachtober 9: a very cool orbweaver, _Gea heptagon_! Named because of its seven-pointed abdomen. So far I have only found them low among the grass in a particular marshy meadow. The juveniles have similar circular web decorations as young _Argiope_.

#Welt! Bist du noch da?
Bin spät dran …
… daher heute ein Mix aus #Fensterfreitag ( #hidden #windows ), dem #Naturblog ( Ein #Prachtexemplar aus der Familie der #Araneidae ) und dem Hinweis, dass es mit 17°C recht angenehm ist Richtung #Arbeit zu #radeln.
Ehm, #Wochenende ist auch in #Sicht!

i had to break out the fancy camera to get a night shot but here is ms. window orbweaver.
approx. 12-15mm body length, maybe?

I think of this _Larinioides_ colouration as "white chocolate". The spiders in this genus I see in my area range from almost black to grey to orange-brown to peach to beige to, like this one, almost white.

#BREAKING: my pet _Larinioides_ orbweaver is almost certainly a juvenile male! The palps are way too bulbous for a female's, I think.
Anyway, here e is chowing down on eir fruit flies.

It's that time of the week again: time to feed the spiders. I think the cellar spider (_Pholcus_) in the jar won't need food for a while—I've never seen one so fat! I also managed to get three fruit flies into the orbweaver's (_Larinioides_') web with tweezers.
