I had a tenant in my butterfly garden that I had to evict. I took these shots before I moved it out to the woods.

Those Powershot's sure take some nice pics, and you nailed it with that one!

Are you sure that thing don't eat mice, and not bugs? It's huge!

 

[fyrffytr1]

They will eat whatever gets trapped in their web. That includes small lizards and Hummingbirds. That is why I moved it

Dang - they grow big in your part of the world fyrffytr1.

Thanks for sharing...

My worst nightmare!!! 6 foot, 200 lbs, worked construction for 25 years, If that got on me I would scream like a 12 year old school girl!!! Then piss myself!!

BAHDHAGRAGD..... I agree with cooper. Been through Iraq, Afghanistan, Law Enforcement, not much bothers me ...spiders blahhhh! I would rather cage fight a grizzly bear than touch that thing!

You guys are totally wrong about that spider. I had one live in the skylight (yes in the house) and we would throw flys up in his web. We even named him Sparkle. He was totally harmless. And great entertainment. When fall came he just went away. They are a beautiful creature.

real scary...immature mountain lions are extremely dangerous...they have not learned
to behave around humans...no fear.

2 grown men with heavy blankets, and a third with a snare pole. Bag 'em and
then take him out of town a ways, and then let a good pack of cat dogs chase
his butt back into the hills.

Only problem with all that is 1) It's a young male, and 2) Odds are high he was run
out of the range he planned to live on by the current inhabitant of that same turf.
Cougars need big territories, and males will range much further than females. With
as high as the lion pop. is in Calif., there's probably no where for him to go.

Take a good look at him, and you can see he's barely more than 6 mos. old, and damn
near staving. He needs a few weeks in a large cat rehab eating regular meals, letting
him get past this adolescent stage of growth; right now he's a big clod until he catches up
with the size of those feet.

The bio's in neighboring areas (and states) might know if there's a cat range that's
unoccupied, drop him off there in the wilderness and give him chance to be a mountain lion
and not a nuisance.
