I SAW THIS SPIDER(FEMALE GOLDENROD CRAB SPIDER)ENJOYING A BIG MEAL IN A WILD ROSE BUSH NORTH EAST OF THUNDERBAY ON.I WAS BLESSED TO RUN INTO HER AGAIN ON JUNE 21 2007 ,SHE WAS IN THE SAME ROSE BUSH BUT IT HAD TAKEN QUITE A POUNDING FROM A SEVERE STORM THE NIGHT BEFOREAND HER PETAL COVER WAS LIMITED.I WAS HAPPY TO OBSERVE MANY NEW BLOSSUMS WERE COMING OUT.I BELIEVE HER JOURNEY TO A NEW HOME WILL BE SHORT AND SAFE.
