Charo... My first banana spider. The zigzag appeared couple days after I spotted her. Is that usual??

Discovered by accident, when trying to brush away what turned out to be a very STRONG webline that didn't snap. Imagine finding this HUGE spider overhead!

Charlotte showed up on our porch, scared us, but we left her alone. Her mate came and disappeared (she ate him?) and as you can see she is pregnant.
