The Super Beaver Moon enshrouded the Pleiades cluster in a bright halo on its path across the zenith; Jupiter was nearby showing three of its Galilean moons.

This brown Spotted Orbweaver (Neoscona crucifera) was making an intricate web under a lamp. After catching and eating a moth for dinner, the orbweaver collected the large web by rolling it into a ball and retreated to a secluded position to sleep until the next night.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one to have this idea; just wish that it was full sized and not just for looks.. Idk, it's kinda cool. Mine of course would have windows and mirrors as well as headlights, corner lights, and tail lights. 😎

I found an ant colony that was tending to some eggs under a flowerpot. Some of the eggs were curling as if wanting to walk by themselves. The ants started moving out when the sunlight appeared, lifting the eggs gently with their mandibles and carrying them to a nearby wooden shelter. I replaced their roof with the flowerpot to deflect the incoming rain, and left their new home undisturbed. The ants are still happy with their digs tonight, and have been taking chunks of suet dropped by the birds. Ants can be very smart, notably their communicative methods for assigning tasks and gathering information about their environment.
