Cleopatra and Arsinoe

One morning i went to pull the car through the gate to go to work and there were two magnificent orb weavers in adjacent impressive webs with an anchor line stretching to the ground. They are the same kind of orb weaver, probably sisters, and one is slightly larger than the other. I named the left one Cleopatra and the right one Arsinoe. I see them every morning at the end of their shift as my shift is just beginning. They are excellent hunters. Cleopatra has a junebug wrapped up in her web as a snack for later right now. When i left for work this morning Cleopatra had 3 junebugs in her web and Arsinoe had 1 in hers.
