Creatures of the night...

With summer comes the usual influx of garden pests, both good and bad.  Spiders are my friends, that is until I accidentally run smack dab into their webs at night.

Nothing gets your blood pressure riled up like the feeling of sticky spider web wrapping around your face....unless.....you happen to also feel the pitter-patter of 8 little spider legs scurrying across your face to the back of your neck.

I wonder what colorful insect this guy is munching on for his midnight snack?

Hardly a week goes by without me having to do the spider dance in the middle of the night.  Perhaps I need to pay more attention to what is in front of me when I'm strolling amongst my Brugmansia at night?
