FEELS LIKE FALL NEXT | START OVER | PREVIOUS This weird spider, along with his/her relatives, set up housekeeping in my yard in every imaginable place this year for the first time. I never saw one before these came along. They are about the size of a dime. The white side with black spots (next picture) seems to be the top of the spider and the black side with the golden specks or spots is the bottom. The white shiny things on the bottom are the legs, perhaps covered with silk or perhaps just naturally luminescent. Submit a picture. Copyright © 2003 Consolidated Publishing Co.
