Even a weed can be one of mother nature's works of art! The out of focus yellow flower at the bottom on the left hand side gives a clue to what it is.

Very cool. There is a mama and her 4 babies living under a rotting tree on the hill behind the house. We feed them fruits and vegetables.

I murdered hundreds of them with one of these last year... they are adapting to my efforts by building huge webs more than 50 feet up in the pines. The cold doesn't bother them, and I'm afraid they are here to stay.View attachment 38231

You can also use a air rifle to kill them, no bb's no pellets, just the air pressure will kill them.

I believe I saw the news about them
They said, they are another invasive species that came from Asia.
While they are huge, they are non-venomous and have huge webs.

Neighbors found a small fawn caught in a fence, she was very weak. They took it home and raised it. They put a bright orange collar on her. Everyone round here knew bout her, she would come running when you whistled. My wife would feed her apples. She had a fawn but it would keep its distance from people. She was 2 years old when she was shot by a outta state hunter, still wearing the bright orange collar.

In a lot of states, it is illegal to raise deer. Even if you think you are doing good by taking in a fawn, the law says otherwise

Not just deer but wildlife in general, taking care of orphaned or injured wildlife needs to be done by professionals so they can be cared for properly with as little human interaction as possible so when they are released they can take care of themselves.

In most cases, 100% true as the sick/injured/abandoned animal will become a pet and humans imprinted on the animals mind and can never return to the wyld.
The only exception is an animal who is permanently crippled and can not ever survive in the wyld

Imported from China, and their venom is like a bee sting.
Over the last 2 months I have been spotting tiny baby Joro building webs all over the property, it won't be long before I murder them as well.

Pileated. I have a mating pair and some young in the back yard. I see them every day. I think I posted a picture here. They look like psychopathic murder clowns. I love them.

I was digging a hole in a suburban lawn, as I often do, and my buddy says, " Hey Bob, you got a friend". Literally 6' from me was a little buck. I looked at him, he looked at me for a second and went back to grazing.
