From my front yard..

Post by infidel »

I was out last night looking for night time insects to photo in my yard when i came across a small hole covered in web. I grabbed a small blade of grass and drug it across the hole to see if I could coax whatever was inside to come out and this is the girl came out to greet me. You can see in the background that she kept her back legs in the hole so she didn't lose track of it's location. I just thought it was pretty cool having this beast in my yard:
