Years ago I had this strange spider appear in my garden on a web. Being from an area up north where we never see such creatures, I was naturally fascinated. His web was in an area off to the side of the garden, and I rarely saw him with a meal, so every morning I would toss a small bug in his web to keep him around. Then, one day he just disappeared. Here are two shots over about a weeks time, he turned into a fatty spider.
