I think those big eyed spiders, along with the jumping varieties, are quite cute

But then .. only "man or cat hairs .. left"

Mine would have killed it from a glare at twenty paces.

Hereabouts, at this time of year, the spiders abound; I usually just leave them be since the varieties seen here are mainly benign, and I kind of enjoy watching them as they move about...

Saw this one today:





It appears to be a Giant Leopard Moth. Aptly named for the spots, but I wouldn't call it "giant".



It also appears I am now interested in moths, too.

These two images are not viewable, do I need to bend the knee or something?. I'll let you know now that I wouldn't bend the knee for god almighty or even the devil himself if he ever paid me a visit.

Edit.
All good now, after a bit of research I've found out that it was all linked to a worldwide error with a CDN. A Content Distribution Network, is a network of proxy servers and their data centres distributed across a wide area. The goal of this set-up is to provide high performance to end users by ensuring that whatever service they're trying to access – whether it be a Californian website or Australian retailer – is always spatially relatively close to the end users' computer.

I blame Obama.

They're actually far more numerous and diverse than butterflies, also more interesting because of it

We don'r get that moth over here, just the plain old Leopard Moth which is very similar except that it doesn't have those cute rings... which are much more like a leopard's spots... just plain spots

Must have overlooked that.

Had a cinnabar moth in the house today, I took it outside and told it not to come back or her indoors would freak out and probably smite you stone dead.
I've got some Ragwort in the wild part of the garden so I took it down there, I must be getting touched in the head for talking to a bloody moth.

I really wouldn't worry unless the moth starts talking back...
