On my walk this last Friday I began to notice huge spiders and lots of webs hanging from many of the homes along Harvard and Courtlandt. I am concerned that these giant spiders may be dangerous. I hope all the Trick or Treaters got home safely last night!This home had a few albino ones but mostly I just saw fuzzy black ones.
Perhaps they were attracted to all the fresh pumpkins that people are setting out?
If you have arachnophobia this post maybe too much for you!
You may enjoy the charming old homes and wonderful porches however!
Looks like they are making a nest on the furniture below.
This seems to be another variety that is even larger and I wonder if the orange coloring means it is poisonous.
I am happy to say so far we have not had any on our porch.
Some seem to be waiting to crawl in the front doors. After a bit of research I found out that this appears to be a normal seasonal occurrence and nothing to be worried about!

This was suppose to go out yesterday but time got away….so it will be my Day of the Dead post instead. Happy Gardening!
Goodness, does every house have halloween spiders round you? Never mind the spiders though, it was fascinating to see the house styles round you.

It was a 2 mile walk so no not every house but so many that it tickled my imagination. I did think it was a fun way to show the homes in my neighborhood too!

Heavens to Betsy, your area sure seems to have a lot of large spiders! Poisonous or not, I’d not want to get stuck in one of their webs! Fun post, cool homes, and some creative decorations!

It’s well known that Giant Black Spiders are attracted to members of the Cucurbitaceae family. An interesting form of wildlife gardening – I wonder what Doug Tallamy would say.
