Arachnophilia
The vineyard is a lot of work but stopping and seeing our little helpers makes a delight of the work. The mornings have been very misty. On an early Saturday morning, before the first shift (my husband, Jane and I) started with the work of putting in the pencil rods, the dew had made jewelry from this spider's web.
We love spiders in the garden because they make our life of bug patrol easier. At the moment, the grubs have metamorphosed into their adult form and we are dealing with Oriental and Japanese beetles. In scouting our vineyard, we came upon these busy spiders:
Still trying to identify the spiders, when I do, I'll update the blog.
