Skeeve...

Ok *phew* I thought you meant palm sized PLUS legs... not that palm sized including legs isn't friggin huge, but ... well... the other would just give me a heart attack on the spot.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA... I just watched a butterfly play cat-n-mouse with Bertha (that's what I've named the nana spider outside my window

).

Bertha's web is probably 3'W x 2'H, with the lower support strands connected to the row of bushes below the window, and the uppers to the eave overhang. So this butterfly comes flitting along (I wouldn't have noticed, except the cat sitting on the edge of my desk got all excited about it), and starts flying ovals around the web... I'm watching going "OH SHIT! Flutterby is a goner!" and Bertha was watching, too, scrambling all over the web, thinking lunch has landed...

Butterfly does a couple laps, teases the spider, then away she goes...

Bertha is (I'm assuming) not amused.
