Spider

I never thought that I would be so attracted to a creature like this, my new (and only) pet. It's a spider that lives outside my home, it has some interesting shape and bright red color mixed with white and black, I think. It is against the light so I can't see it well but it really amuses me. I look at it every day. I have seen it make a spider web, it reminds me of me sewing, and I guess that is why I'm so mesmerized by it. I've also seen it hunting a few bugs, it's like an acrobat in a circus, and I've seen it repair its web and make a new one all over again. Maybe the biologist in me does have a bit of affection for the animal world and not just plants!

Nunca pense que me atraeria tanto una criatura como esta, mi nueva (y unica) mascota. Es una aranha que vive fuera de mi casa, tiene una forma interesante y es rojo brillante con blanco y negro, creo. Esta a contra luz asi que no la veo bien pero me llama mucho la atencion. La miro todos los dias. La he visto tejer su tela de aranha, me recuerda a mi cosiendo, y cero que por eso me tiene tan ensimismada. Tambien la he visto cazando bichos, es como un acrobata en un circo, y tambien la vi arreglando su tela y haciendo una nueva de nuevo. Quizas la biologa que hay en mi tiene un poco de carinho por el mundo animal y no solo por las plantas!
