We've sort of adopted a writing spider this summer. She's woven a web in my hydrangea bush, complete with the Z's that a writing spider is known for. We call her Charlotte, after the spider in Charlotte's Web, who was also a writing spider.
Our Charlotte has 3 egg sacks. I'm going to ask one of our State Park naturalists if he'd like the egg sacks. As much as I have enjoyed watching Charlotte, I really don't want her tiny children finding a way into my house :-) !
