Our new resident spider in our storage container/shed! We see it nearly every morning in this location! At the disturbed edge of a dense mixed forest.

  I think so!
  
  My parasitoid wasp "pet" by our front porch has moved on for the season, so I won't get to see her descendants until next spring. I named her Izzy...because she was very busy (Bzzzzz-y). Posted 6 years ago
