For the last several years, the Atlanta area has seen a significant uptick in an invasive species of spider known as the Joro spider. Last year was my first year of really noticing them around the house. This year, I've paid attention to them more, occasionally surveying the largest in our backyard. This year, it came down to this one, the last Joro. It had clearly seen some difficult times, having lost two font legs. Not long after this, we had a cold snap. I checked and it was gone I'm not sure if it had occasion to lay the eggs that were in her swollen abdomen. If you're still here reading this, perhaps you're not icked out by spider photos. Take a closer look. Using my macro lens, I was able to capture the spider's fangs.

Jumping spiders are so darn cute, I’m glad I didn’t step on this little one hiding in the grass. ❤️

Was I trying for this much spark? No.
Is it still so freaking radical? Hell yeah!
Just a holographic poster board and one strike of a lighter at 1/5 second!

A sleepy wasp takes a break near the edge of a hydrangea leaf.
My favourite kind of wasp: any wasp that isn't stinging me.
This sleepy corker seemed to be taking a break among the hydrangeas, bless his throbby, green goo-pumping wee tubular heart.

Wee itty bitty spider says, "Happy #MacroMonday!"
