07.22.2012 _ GOLDEN ORB SPIDER
The Golden Orb Spider is common on St. John and is a
frequent habitant of trees on the property. Although they are essentially
harmless and somewhat friendly (they allow smaller spiders to share their web),
it is still momentarily alarming to find one suspended in your path. They can
grow to be quite large. This particular spider has spun its web in the same
area for the last several weeks. Although its favorite spot is in the middle of
a secondary path on the property, it appears to relocate immediately after
human traffic on the path and does not resume its location for at least 2 days
following.

materials to the port in San Juan for shipment to St. John. They will arrive in
2 separate shipments, timed to arrive when they are needed on-site.
The Ipe decking and other materials purchased in the US will sail
from Miami to St. John.
