First up: I never did find out what kind of bees were at the bird feeder; guess I needed a pic....
Weedeating this morn and this spider caught my eye. Yikes I say! I look out for spiders while weedeating ever since I got a nasty spider bite once... Anyway took this guy's picture, don't know his name but he sure is big-his body is about the size of a grape, well almost, maybe more like a raisin-a very plump raisin!! No-grape is probably closer-anyway here's the pic....
Here's a pic a little further away...not so easy to see up close with my cheap camera..
His body has bumps on it!!
This appears to be a female wolf spider (family Lycosidae) carrying her newly hatched young on her back - see http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/1142729012029196712OQsLAO
