Hole in the Fence

Mommy spider was gone this morning when I went out to water.  I think the 111 degrees yesterday was too hot for her and she moved to a cooler spot.  Looked around and no web anywhere.  Then I heard some people talking on the other side of the hedge saying, ” Wow that is a big spider.”  I went to see if it was my spider and sure enough there she was. She had made a web across the opening of our recycle bin.  Pretty much in plain view and thinking someone was going to freak out if they saw her I took her web down knowing she would have to relocate.  That was yesterday.  I found her mate’s new web back  just above the clover  patch in the yard.  I looked all over for her but I have not found her yet.  It may be a couple of days until she makes the zig zag lines on the web which makes it easier to spot her. Will  keep you posted.
