Spiders

 It's a beautiful morning. Fortunately the forecast is for a slightly cooler day than yesterday when we reached 30C.  I was wandering around the back garden looking at what (if anything) was blooming that was new. Just a few Morning Glories was all I found.  I noticed again the webs that were built since yesterday.

 I did not see the Orb-weaver. We do have them around here though.

Orb-weaver spiders are called that because they build round, circular, or wheel-shaped webs, which are called "orbs". 

 Orb weavers can bite, but they are non-aggressive and will only bite if they feel threatened and cannot escape, such as if you walk into their web or grab them.

 

 Common house spiders are smaller and have a round abdomen. They hang out in dark corners where they make their rather messy webs. 
 

 The black widow spider is considered the most venomous spider in Canada, though it is rare and primarily found in southern border regions of provinces like BC, Manitoba, and Ontario. Its bite can cause severe pain, muscle cramps, and other neurological symptoms due to the neurotoxins in its venom.

Now that I've bored you with information about spiders  I'll wish you a great day.  Thanks for coming by.
