Comment your first gut reaction.
What’s your first gut reaction? Is it fear? Is it wonder? Is it fascination? Is it “eff this I’m running away screaming like a little girl”
When I saw this girl on my way in to do chores, I stopped and just looked at her. I was fascinated. The fact that she stayed there for about two days, in that spot had me wondering what her life looked like.
Was she looking for a mate? Was she waiting for food? We she getting ready to lay an egg sack? Was her beautiful short life about to come to an end? I never saw her again after those first couple of days, though she left her web. It stayed up until nature took it down.
These spiders can be venomous and will bite, but they are non aggressive, and usually won’t bother you if you don’t bother her. She helps control the population of other insects, the way the earth was meant to do…handle itself.
If we would leave our planet alone, things would be better, but there are 7 billion people on this earth. How long can she handle all that we do to her? How long will she relentlessly take our abuse and ripping up of her breath, blood and bones.
Think about it. If you use chemicals to kill off one insect, then the other insects, or birds or animals that feed on that creature that you destroyed, will have nothing to eat. Then they could die, and insects that they would control, would become out of control… you see what I’m sayin’? Mess with the balance, and everything goes haywire.
Please leave this beautiful planet better than you found it. I’m becoming so passionate about life and what we have as a gift that was given to us, that I’m just going with it and sharing everything that I find.
But you know my channel… if you don’t… I’m all over the place…so you never know. ✌️
Peace out
