Artist's Description
These spiders live with us but you may never really notice them unless cleaning dark corners or looking closely on the outside niches of your house. They are not aggressive toward people and are kind of chicken, as a matter of fact. If they get scared they often pretend to be dead or drop down from their web and run for the hills. They mate and lay eggs at any time of the year, and each papery egg sack can have, on average, 100 to 400 spiderlings that hatch. Other spider do eat these guys. If you noticed the gray pile of round-looking things out of focus on the left, that is a bunch of newly hatched spiderlings. The brown papery thing is an egg sack.
This picture was taken August 25, 2013, in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA, on the outside of our house under a window. I used the Canon T4i with my Tamron macro lens (1:1).

About Carol Senske
I always wanted to try photography, and my retirement offered an opportunity to do just that. The natural world is my first love. Here you will find pictures of things both large (landscapes, for instance) and small (macro) that catch my eye. I hope the images serve as a window into the natural world many of you don't have the chance to see. In a sense, I'm trying to create a guided nature trail, sharing what information I have about the subject. I'm always grateful for new and better information and welcome all input. Learning is food for the mind and soul. Nothing is ever harmed in the picture-taking process, but some things that wander into our home (like spiders) are carefully removed from the house after they serve as "models"....
