My Gorgeous Gussie searching for a winter home. She's such a lovely colour.

I think Gorgeous Gussie might be looking for a warm, dry place to deposit her eggs!

I don't think your Gorgeous Gussie will be in this world very much longer Hedera, I think they lay eggs for next year and die at the end of the year, I had Florance and Freda a few years ago, they lived in the roof of the hog house, Freda had a taste for wasps, lovely spiders, I loved having them, but they did nt return in Spring, but left loads of babes, and there are loads in the garden this year, all big and fat. posting pic.

I hope she lays lots of eggs and I get some off-spring next year! I get light coloured ones in that part of the garden and nearly black ones at the other end. You'll laugh, but I spoke to her when I was picking tomatoes, and apologised when I had to move her web a bit!!!

Lol Hedera, I used to talk to Freda and Florance all the time, its quite normal to talk to spiders, I really missed them when they went.
Gorgeous Gussie, I love her name. Pauline.
