WARNING: LINKS IN THIS ENTRY CONTAIN PICTURES OF SNAKES AND SPIDERS
So today we went down to the extreme south of Louisiana and helped build a porch. In the process we saw an Argiope spider of some sort. Perhaps Argiope trifasciata. The underside was what we could see and it was exactly as in Ms. Wigney's photo. My sister got a really good shot with her good quality camera. I got a shot with my cameraphone, but I don't know if we'll be able to see the spider in it. Time will tell. We also saw and ended up killing two black widows with large egg sacs, and one brown widow, which is a spider we didn't even know existed until today. I had goosebumps and chills several times even while sweating and burning in the sun. Phobias are strange.
We also determined that the snake we saw in the backyard of the house we gutted (in St. Bernard Parish) was in fact a Water Moccasin or Cottonmouth. It was really pretty, but of course we didn't go near it, and are now very glad indeed.
