ooo...I love hummingbird moths. I see em' every night on my huge hyssop bush in the front flowerbed while I'm sittin' on my bench enjoying the night. They get real close to me...and I can feel em' stirring the air.

Here lately, since I'm always pokin' around the house at night...I've been spotting some REAL big spiders hanging around the foundation and in my front beds. I've always seen these little guys....but these females that I'm seeing are HUGE. I want to get a photo of them...but they seem to be more nocturnal...and my camera isn't THAT good...lol Its that common brown/tan garden variety, although I don't know the name of them.

lol..I know its a bit blurry....and my honey was holding a flash light from FAR away...she was at least a couple of inches across...and I swear that I saw one even larger last night...
