There's all sorts of weird bugs that seem to rear their "ugly" heads in Florida's hot summer. Here's what we discovered in our yard on this sunny-to-rainy Sunday afternoon.
To the left is a Banana Spider - harmless, but big. Scary at first, but a quick visit to Wikipedia.org cleared up any need to freak out. Below, is the Spiny Orb-Weaver. We like to call it a "Crab Spider", but apparently, there's an uglier arachnid that wins that title. Again harmless, and both are actually good for the yard, taking care of a lot of those pesky bugs that buzz about.
