Uninvited guest

Well, things have been going pretty smoothly lately with the worms.....sifting, cleaning, and harvesting. I've been giving some of the bigger worms to my friend Mimi, who is raising opossum babies, and they love the worms.

Then, tonight, I pulled out a drawer of worms who aren't big enough to need very frequent cleaning yet, and....YIKES!... a BIG spider had taken up residence in the back corner! His legs were skinny, but he had a really fat body and I could guess why! I guess he thought he had died and gone to heaven with all those worms to eat! I should have taken his picture, but I was in too big of a hurry to get him out the door. I found a collection of worm casings in his web. He'll have to do some work for his meals in the future....or maybe he'll even BE s meal!
