Endlich wieder eine schöne große #Wespenspinne 🐝🕷️ gesehen. Sie wird auch Zebraspinne 🦓🕷️ oder Tigerspinne 🐅🕷️ genannt und ist für Menschen ungefährlich ☮️.

Bei Wikipedia muss ich an dieser Stelle immer schmunzeln:
"Der Sexualkannibalismus ist… für das gefressene Männchen…von Vorteil, wenn man die Angelegenheit aus evolutionärer Sicht betrachtet…(da) die Aussicht auf Vaterschaft für Spinnenmännchen durch den Tod...signifikant steigt."

I had to kill my favorite spider on my balcony.

She has been catching a lot of bugs and small creatures, but this morning I saw 2 dead bees in her net.

I barely ever see any bees managing to come up all the way to the 6th floor of our apartment.

So I did the unthinkable and destroyed the next of the spider and possibly killed her. I would be happy to move her to the other side of the apartment where there are enough bugs for it to eat. But sadly it really hard to catch.

Now that it's getting colder, you're going to see an influx of #spiders in your home. You just are. A lot of these fellas are Wolf Spiders.

.
Before mindlessly killing these babies, please consider letting them be- or at the very least, capturing and releasing them elsewhere. Here's why: ↙️
1) Wolf Spiders are ground hunters. So while they are fast and have fabulous eyesight, they usually stay hidden from your view and don't spin webs.
2) They eat ALL bugs considered "pests". Crickets, other spiders, meal worms, centipedes, ants, flies, etc.
3) They are very curious, but very gentle. They make great pets (if you're into the lifestyle) because they rarely bite unless they're extremely scared or hurt.
4) There's scientific research on how their ground silk is helping to slow down global warming! 🌎🥺
.
They're so beneficial for not just your own home, but the entire ecosystem.
I know fear is very real, but just some food for thought. 🥰💕

i felt eyes, many eyes, behind me and lo! Hunty's back for the winter :D Could be the great, great, really great grandchild of Hunty by now. But whichever, they sojourn to the cooler adjoining room for the summer and choose to winter in here. How lovely <3
pointed toe to pointed toe, across 10cm. i dont think this is the original Hunty, unless they shrink. Naaw! How very lovely - the dynasty continues :D
