Looks similar to one of Tom's spiders on the first page.
^That's totally the same spider!
I forget what kind it is, but I remember reading that they're virtually harmless.

I posted it on a Spiders message board and someone ID'd it for me in like 20 minutes. It's apparently a Nursery Web Spider, and yes, it's totally harmless.

My friend found these two fukkers in her garden, eating all her tuhmaters:
We put 'em in a jar with airholes, dropped in some green tomatoes in there and watched them eat huge furrows in the 'maters in seconds. Crazy!
Edit: then we watched them poop, which was CRAZY! Seriously. Big knobby green pellets the size of pencil erasers. OOGY!

Jrmy, those are called Hornworms. They turn into big moths, similar to the one I posted a few days ago.

I don't have any unusual bugs, but here's a picture of a dragonfly and a bee.

Sure, sonidero, rub it in. (TWSS)
Just because Spring comes early to Texas, doesn't mean you have to make the rest of us jealous.
