Ok, to those of you living in more diverse regions of the planet, this may 
not be as interesting.  But, it's probably the largest type of spider that 
I've seen here in Michigan, so I took a few pictures.  That "thing" all 
wadded up is a medium sized grasshopper, probably about an inch long.

I've come across these fella's before.  If you're walking through a field, 
even in blue jeans, and you step into one of their webs, you know it.  It's 
almost like fishing line (yes, it's a mild exaggeration).  Anyway, you can 
feel the web tugging pretty hard at your clothes...

Yep, I'm still hanging around, I just don't post much these days...
