Thanks Magpye - your posts make for good reading :o)

...and Lily,

Great photos again!

I'd say poor bee...but bees are all over the place out here. It must keep my hummie feeders real clean and not spill any nectar because the bees will be on them in a flash! I also put out bait for butterflies...and don't ya know...the dratted bees hog everything!

But leave it up to Mother Nature...I saw a HUGE spider had woven it's web between two of my citrus trees...right next to one of the bait stations...there must have been a dozen bees caught on that when I stepped out into the yard for a look around before work :o)

Now considering that spider was HUGE to begin with...am wondering how big it will get after it gets done with all those bees!!!

This spider's abdomen was the size of a penny! And there I was standing on a step ladder trying to get a photo and not end up with it in my face! EEEK!

ps...That's the last time I'll forget my camera has an LCD screen!
