Anthony's Pet Spider

We have a very busy spider spinning its web on our front porch. Anthony admires it every time we come in or out of the house, so I've decided that we're keeping it as a pet. Well, we're keeping it as a pet as long as it stays in its web outside! Its been there for at least a month now and Bob thinks it gotten much bigger. One time he blew on it, then the spider fell out of his web and fell nearly a foot before he caught himself. He then scrambled back up to his web along his silky thread. It was pretty neat. Of course, now Anthony wants to torment the poor spider daily.

Picture really doesn't do it justice. In Bob's defense, it takes a macro lens to get a picture of the spider and then Anthony isn't in the picture!
