I've been hunting in SW Virginia, Carroll Co. Lots of leaves changing/falling there. Squirrels are busy!

One of the little red orb-weavers bit me on the forearm when I walked into its web while walking the dog. Itched for a bit. It was only a half-incher, with a white triangle on it.
You ever put one of those BRSs next to a tree? With those scales, they can go up pretty quick.
What fresh Hell is this?

We're at about 45 feet and have been touching the 80s the last few days. Today is the first time the sun has been out all week. I'll be heading out toward Rocky Mount and Roanoke tomorrow. Will be interesting to see the changes from here.

I'm 30 miles west of ROA and about 1,000 ft higher altitude.
Friday will be pretty warm there.
Supposed to hit lower 40's Sat night/Sunday morn.
We've had one hit/miss frost so far a couple of weeks back.

I did have an extraordinary encounter. I watched a Black Rat snake probe a rotted log and pull out a mouse. A second mouse came out and tried to fight the snake, but gave up, picked up a hickory nut, and hopped like a kangaroo towards me and went between the small of my back and the tree I was leaning against. I got up and walked over to the snake which was just finishing it meal and which took great interest in its own reflection in the glass over my phone camera.lens. Here's a video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/fLsWbh2kpbYmTnCRAWhat our woods still look like. https://photos.app.goo.gl/a69jpgJvzG4Kf6CQ8Cool snake video.
