I looked up at the porch celling and thought I saw a cicada shell, but it turned out to be a really nice looking little spider. I got a couple pictures:





I really liked the abdomen design on it. I haven't got the id down yet, I think its some sort of orb weaver or something, I'll look tomorrow unless someone beats me to it.

I also found this guy, he was about 4 inches long. I was really creeped out by him though because once someone called these beetles cockroaches and now they remind of roaches and I'm scared of them.
