Not a spider fan here, but we have enjoyed watching this beautiful one for the last eight or nine weeks on our backyard patio.
She decided to build her web attached to the house and connecting to some bushes close by. Every morning she rebuilds her house. She has been through the heat, a few stormy nights, and now the freeze. We read they usually make it through a couple of frosts, and then they're gone.
There are two eggs sacks that she has tucked into the bushes and are well protected. They each can have up to 1,000 babies inside. As a girl growing up in the 80s use to say,
gross me out! The sacks will weather through winter and come spring should hatch. We'll see. Neat for the kids to watch the process.
