There is a story behind this spider. Our backyard was starting to revert back to a nature wonderland, crickets, lizards, centipedes and spiders. We just mowed the back yard and I decided to try to take back ownership of the backyard. I had the bug killer that connects to a hose and sprayed down the backyard. This spider was setting up shop on one of the palm trees in our backyard. He got a good dose of the spray and appeared to be dead, hanging from his web by one leg. A few days later I noticed he was moving and appeared to be recovering or at least clinging to life. A few days later he was gone, I figured a bigger creature carried him away. Then today out of nowhere he has a huge web right outside our patio door, staring into our house. I'm pretty sure he is after me for revenge for the bug spray. A week ago I saw a spider about three times bigger than this one on the far side of the backyard and hit him with a spray from the regular hose, causing him to flee to the neighbors yard. A night later he was on the wall nearest our door, again seeking revenge. Well my shoe won that battle. I think before he expired he passed on his vendetta to this spider.

You killed Nathan!!!!!!! How could you?
Ugh I remember those annoying spiders. We had them in the bushes on the side of our yard. I would go out with a broom and knock down all the webs and they would be back the next day with a vengence!
