I have no idea what kind of bug has just lost its life. I will admit I screamed when the spider scurried down the web and pounced on the exhausted victim. The bug struggled for a second and then the paralyzing poison kicked in. I felt bad for the bug. But that is just nature, that is what I told myself as I snapped pictures.
There are three of these spiders living on my front porch. I don't know what kind of spiders they are. They are huge! Their bodies are about the size of a quarter and when their legs are out stretched, they are about the size of half a dollar. They spin these gorgeous, gigantic webs that strech the expanse of the columns on my front porch. I think they could trap small birds.

That is one icky looking spider! But you should see the wide variety of scary bugs and spiders we get in lovely 29 Palms, Ca.
