Post Body

I had a spider live in a corner of my balcony since it was a baby last January, but then I was sad as it looked like it left, and the corner has been vacant for a couple weeks, I think. Then yesterday, I saw a spider that looks similar to the one that was there before.

Is it possible my spider friend went off to like mate or something and then found it’s way back to the corner? Or is it just a coincidence a spider of what appears the same species and size moved into what is a very productive corner appear for catching bugs?

Regardless, I’m just so happy to have a spider back! I even misted the web in case it was thirsty. 😊
