ZIG-ZAG STITCHING LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!

We've had an abundance of spiders in and around our home this summer....big fat brown spiders were the most prevalent.....messy webs everywhere!  Okay, before you all comment on the positives....I get it....I just don't like the mess.

However, this one shown here is a first.   It's beautiful, huge, and a type I've never seen before. Research tells me it's a orb-weaver spider....notice how large the web is.  AND...it must be strong as it was in place for days with perfect placement of the web, despite our rain and wind post hurricane weather.


If you look closely above and below the spider you can see the weaving this creature made...looks just like zig-zag stitches!!

I will conclude my post today by saying with fingers double crossed.....GO PACK GO!!!  Sure hope tonight's game has more success than the previous outings of America's favorite team!

Quite impressive! And the spider is a beauty. It is amazing how they weave, and how it can last.

WOW...it also looks like a great quilting design! Really cool...I might even have more respect for spiders now!

Love the web...we've always called them "writing" spiders as they do the zig zag stitch so people can see the web easier and not walk into it...We have a writing spider that makes a web in the same place in front every year...they are big spiders and a little creepy but the web is so cool and amazing.
