Missing spider

The tide was up in the grass.  It seems to me that the tides have been higher than usual all Fall.  A great blue heron perched on a snag in the lake.  A brown thrasher pounced on something behind the big fungus.

The Argiope by the patio and the web were gone today.  I hunted around for places it might have relocated, but no luck. The one in the spartina was still in the same place.  A rusty bumblebee pollinated the portulaca.  The black swallowtail caterpillar continued to feed and grow.  A black and white wasp seemed to me to be biting into the base of scarlet climber buds, presumably because it was not equipped to drink from a long tubed flower.
