One whole day of walking to Kudłoń (a mountain in Lesser Poland, PL). Got up early (for me at least). Some pictures on the way turned out interesting so I share them here with you.

"Spider Grandmother (Koyangwuti) is the special benefactor of the Hopi tribe. In the Hopi creation myths, Spider Grandmother created humans from clay (with the assistance of Sotuknang and/or Tawa), and was also responsible for leading them to the Fourth World (the present Earth.)" www.native-languages.org/spider-grandmother.htm

 

"Spider Woman (Na'ashjéii Asdzáá)is one of the most important deities of traditional Navajo religion. Unlike the Hopi Spider Grandmother, the Navajo Spider Woman is not considered the creator of humans, but she is their constant helper and benefactor. Spider Woman was the advisor of the heroic twins Monster-Slayer and Born-for-Water, taught the people the arts of weaving and agriculture, and appears in many legends and folktales to "save the day," protect the innocent, and restore harmony to the world.

On the other hand, maybe she deserves a rest from pesky humans after weaving such a mice web.

  

This spider was pretty well camouflaged. Best viewed large.

A common house spider (Parasteatoda tepidariorum), spinning its web in my garage.

Right at eye-level across the trail... yikes! If I hadn't been paying attention I would have had a face full of spider webs.

Spiders are scary animals for many. Since I become a macro enthusiast I saw them differently and stopped to watch what they really do in this world. The view from my point of view was spectacular. Not only is this a fantastic predator but while being able to lure other insects into its spider web it´s also able to make a fantastic creative work; spider web.

This lovely girl was sheltering in a small web under an old burnt log.

The Spider Wasp is a type of Hornet. Its sting is particularly painful but it does not normally bother people. Its gets its name from the fact that it targets spiders (often much bigger than itself). I found this one in our bathroom which is a hotspot for spiders this time of year !

Araña encontrada en el jardín de casa. Mirando en "google imagenes" no ha sido difícil encontrar la especie de la que se trata. Araneus Diadematus, la araña de jardin europea, puede llegar a medir casi 4 cm, difícil que muerda pero mejor tenerla lejos jijjj

The jumping spider family (Salticidae) contains more than 500 described genera and about 5,000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders with about 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among invertebrates and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Though they normally move quietly and fairly slowly, most species are capable of very agile jumps, notably when hunting, but sometimes in response to sudden threats. Both their book lungs and the tracheal system are well-developed, and they use both systems (bimodal breathing). Jumping spiders are generally recognized by their eye pattern. All jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes with particularly large anterior median eyes.
