I saw this female Hawaiian Garden Spider scooting up a strand of her web during a welcome rain shower. She stopped just before reaching the top and was soon the recipient of drops of water dripping from the roof. When the rain passed, she carried on up to the gutter.
I think she was getting some water to drink and possibly enjoying having a little wash. It’s been very dry here lately and water has been in short supply for the local wildlife.

How big is it? It looks about the size of an apple.

It’s around two inches, but the male is no more than a quarter inch!

Enjoying the rain is universal

It is, and it’s been very welcome for everyone as it’s been so dry. The next day, our house was no longer overrun with ants, as their usual water sources were replenished.

Enssey weensy spider didn’t need the water spout. She made her own.

She did indeed. When the rain stopped, she continued on and probably dried off a bit. Next time I looked she was back in the center of her web.
