Looks so big!

I remember once there was a huge grashopper in our house, beautiful but quite scary...

Well all I know is that I haven't seen any moths or whatever in the house in a few days... Except in this thread of course, good camera shots Suzie.

I just went after any and all cracks in the wall joints that are above the floor, there were only two holes at floor level, those were easy to find and patch, but above that cracks from being 26 years old and no real maintenance were everywhere almost, swiss cheese(below) has fewer holes and cracks than the walls here.

Hey Julie, I think you need a big strong man like me to protect you from those big scary grasshoppers.

This girl is outside one of my bedroom windows. I took this
photo on Monday (10/29). I took it with my phone. I was going
to go snap a shot with my camera, but this one turned out
rather well, I think. I want to take another shot of her belly
from inside the house. Haven't tried that one yet.



If you want to see the huge version, go to

Just want to say that Monday was 10/28, and let you all know
that I know that.

That's all.

My argiope has moved. She's now on my front porch. And there's a huge egg sac that I have to assume is hers. I'll get some pix later. It's dark now.

This is the argiope spider's egg sack that's on my front
porch.



There is a much larger version of this photo at
http://www.zannpix.com/eggsackhuge.jpg
for anyone who wants to explore the egg sack closely.
It really is pretty interesting to see close up. It
has been surrounded by webbing, no doubt to protect
it from things that might get too close. You can see
the webbing in the close up.

These were a Cicadia earlier this year near the doorway of my downstairs neighbor:

You can see how big they are out here in comparison to the downspout (average-sized downspout):

Great shots Michael.
I always find insect wings fascinating structures, and those are "quite massive" by the looks of them.

That cicada is a color I've never seen. The ones here (in central
Texas) are green, and the 17-year cicadas on the east coast are
red. Yours has a white body. Where do you live, Michael?

This is the video of the argiope rebuilding her web. It's
just over a minute long.

I swear it was clearer before I uploaded it to Facebook. It
is pretty difficult to focus on something that takes up such
a small area in the frame.

All right, enough. Vic obviously does not want advice on his moths, his home, or pretty much anything else. So as the thread founder, I hereby declare any of Vic's personal problems to be off limits.

Now back to Sue's terrifying spiders.
