Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

A nice friendly garden spider!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Thanks, Phil. I've never seen one before, but boy was it delicious.

It's a garden spider, part of the "orb web" family of spiders that spin those traditional circular webs.

I love seeing them in action when a good size meal finds its way into their trap.

I am a legend in my own mind!

I used to like tossing a grasshopper in the web of the real big ones when I was a kid....and they can get pretty big

grasshopper is sitting there motionless totally unaware of his predicament. lol
