Spider

[yakalskovich]

This is one of several spiders of about a quarter of an inch in size that live before the window on the A staircase here at my rehab place. My little multipurpose machine takes good enough macro pictures so all the details are clearly visible, stripes and hair and all.

He lives with a few colleagues around that window, and when the sun is on it, they busily sit in their webs and wait for flies and mosquitoes (plentiful in summer, because of the lake); for the rest of the time, they hide somewhere else and laze about. Once, I saw two of them chase each other for some reason. They were apparently having an argument, but I don't know why. I don't understand spiderese. But it did look dramatic.-
