Apparently it's a Jewelled Spider and part of the Orb Spider family. It definitely is a cool looking spider.
Anyways, Tom decided he wanted to watch the spider eat a bug, so he starts roaming around outside and inside the house trying to find a bug. Of course he had to get the girls to come watch too, so Shelby and Taylor went out to try to help and to watch the whole thing.
He eventually found a rolly-polly (I'm not sure how to spell that). He put the rolly-polly on the web. The spider went over to it and started to spin it, but then decided it didn't like rolly-pollies and dropped the rolly-polly.
Tom went looking again and got an ant to give the spider. Unfortunately, when he went to put it on the web, he bumped into the web and the web broke so that ended everything. He was a bit disappointed he didn't get to watch it eat, but the girls enjoyed the whole thing. Taylor went out the other day (it's the 30th) and discovered that the spider is still there and has rebuilt its web. I guess I should tell Tom, so he can try to watch it eat again. Boys. They are funny.
