Cat-Faced Orb Weaver: Morning Huddle

Every day I visit Roscoe several times to see how she's doing. This is the position she's in during the daytime while she rests and waits for nighttime. Her species is nocturnal, so when it gets dark, I will often find her building a web and hanging out in the center of it. She's slowly getting bigger!

Did you know that some spiders have a kind of antifreeze in their blood so they don't die from the cold. I was concerned about winter approaching and wondered what will happen when it gets really cold. Apparently, this little girl should have been born in the springtime, but instead, she was probably born in August, so I will keep my fingers crossed that she'll survive!
