The markings on this spider's back are thought to
resemble a cat's face, complete with bumps that look like ears. I'm
not sure if you see the cat by looking from the front of the spider
or the back; see what you think. This is a fairly large spider,
about 20mm, or almost the size of a quarter dollar. Its habit of
building its large orb webs inside barns and outbuildings, and near
light sources causes an inordinate number of human encounters. It is
completely harmless. |
