I'd like to introduce my newest friend, who moved in just outside my kichen window. Today is the first day she has added a cross to her web.
scary spider
These ladies are rad. I used to live with a bunch in Japan. They're great at keeping mozzies away.
Very pretty! Orb weaver?
St Andrews Cross spider
Beautiful girl!! ππ
I have a fear of spiders

This is a good spider, it keeps its legs together in pairs so you can pretend it only has four legs, just like a cat or dog. Plus it kindly puts a nice distinctive cross in it's web to make sure it is nice and visible for you. Nothing to fear here, this is one of the good guys!
Iβm scared of even looking at them, sorry!
Miss Cross is sad to not be friends, but she had now been hidden to reduce your stress levels.
Itβs ok. You donβt have to hide it.
Iβll just scroll past!
