Feeding an Orb Weaver Spider

[nofearfactor]

The wasps were attracted to the same plants that the spiders had set up home on. The Garden Spiders wiped out those wasps over two or three weeks time.

Mud dobber type wasps that fly in to my garage in the summers are looking for spiders TO EAT,thats one of their favorite foods. Then later I see other types of spiders eating the wasps that have got in their webs. Natures way of taking care of things.

And brown recluses are like vultures or cat fish,they eat dead bugs laying around. If you see a trail of dead bug carcasses in a dark musty place like a garage chances are you have some brown recluses there,they feed on the dead bugs and leave their carcasses.

Ive only seen one black widow here since Ive been living in Oklahoma but back home in California where I live I live near a couple of wineries and they are hell'a thick there as theyre drawn to the grapevines. If you see spider webs inside a bunch of grapes that came from Cali a black widow was probably there.

I haven't purchased food for the spiders or other critters in the yard but the cricket thing is cool. I side with most folks and don't want them on or in the house. I did kill a black widow spider we found under some rocks we moved this weekend. I get in trouble for not getting rid of rat snakes too. I asked if she has seen any rats, mice, etc. The answer is no but of course that does not matter. She's got a new Ruger pistol and knows how to shoot it!!! I limit her ammo though...LOL.

No need to buy crickets right now. I dont know where you live but I live just outside of Coweta and we've had a black cricket invasion over here the last month. Ive been feeding them to my spiders and lizards as fast as they can eat em up.
