What's eating the wisteria...

Tiny little brown beetles that look like turtles. The spider is catching quite a lot of them.
Handy to have a spider close by…

@beverley365 Yes! Too bad it can't catch all of them. Can you see them on the stem about middle left?

Lovely capture with nice bokeh.

Beautiful transition of the plant from light brown to green. It's good to have a few spiders in the neighborhood.

@jgpittenger =)

@kjarn Yes, they are. But they show up every year.

@haskar Thank you, Haskar.

@briaan Thank you, Brian.

@pusspup No, not as many as are on the plant. Seems to be the only plant they go after too.
