Random spider post

Here are some spiders that I either couldn't identify, or I figured they were probably ones that I'd shown in the 280 project already. Spiders are always good anyway, so enjoy:

This little one has bagged a honeybee, complete with saddlebags loaded with pollen.

This beauty is probably a male Agelenid spider, but I didn't get a shot of the eye arrangement to be sure.

I noticed this cross orbweaver at a cookout yesterday. I forget that not everyone is as excited to see them as I am. I should carry a container to rescue unwanted spiders from ungrateful homeowners and party hosts.

I have a crioss orbweaver in my shed, but I was calling it "Mother of all Spiders" and she is providing me with the excuse for not cleaning out the last bit of junk. She is huge!

I got my son in law to take a photo and asked him to send it to me because I wanted to show you for your opinion as to who this spectacular lady is.

Does she bite? How do I remove her without incident?
