Halloween Questions

This time of year there always comes to mind a couple of questions. One being how did purple go from indicating royalty to a witches favorite color? Maybe this Violet toothed polyspore was used in some witches brew.? Or why are spiders, which aren't even around this time of year because they are hibernating or worse dead, cause to signify fear, spookiness? After all this demure little lady all tucked up under the leaf...
and the artist of this beautiful creation just wants a fresh meal for herself and her babies. Now who could blame her for that?
Now these little jumpy spiders can give a little nip but they only do so if they are protecting themselves from careless humans that bump or thump them while gardening.
A person surely couldn't hold a grudge against a hard working Wolf Spider that does its best to rid your tool shed of unwanted denziens.Spiders are such beautiful creatures and most misunderstood. They come in such a wide range of sizes, shapes and...
colors. I wish you could see the neon colors of this Venusta Orchard spider up close. It is a beautiful spider.
I do hope you all have a fun, spooky Halloween week. Just remember to give the spiders their due respect for all the helpful things they do in your garden.
