I recently visited my niece, who's almost 2 and a half. She seemed to be obsessed by monsters and juicy spiders. I brought a book with photos of insects and spiders and such. All she wanted to do what look at the spiders. She didn't seem to be afraid of them at all. When her father found a spider she had to go look at it before he disposed of it. And of course they were all juicy spiders; no crunchy spiders, chewy spiders, fuzzy spiders, or a bit dry but okay with a bit of gravy spiders. Just juicy spiders.

Juicy Spiders For Holloween

A Bit of Good Luck
Found this guy in the doorway when I took out the trash.
Seems to be a male field cricket of some kind.
I didn't expect to find this guy so late in the year.
