Get home from fishing. Go to the back deck to toss a small bluegill for the feral cats. Find a large type of orb weaver waiting for its prey on its huge nest.

Every summer I get large sized orb weaver spiders on my rear deck. Factors are dry woods facing the rear deck, live in a small valley, and get insects attracted to the rear lights.

Are there any other species of prey as patient as a spider?
