The spider on the right is Nephila clavipes, called the Golden Silk spider. Quite remarkable, isn't she? It's a bit difficult to identify the other one, as the image appears to be taken from the underside. It 'might' be Argiope argentata, Silver Argiope. She is certainly one of the argiope spiders, regardless.

Wax myrtle...Morella cerifera, formerly Myrica cerifera.

nel5397, I think you are right! Thanks so much! Terminalia catappa it is. Terminalia catappa has corky, light fruit that are dispersed by water, so that explains why it is growing at water's edge. And now that I think of it, some have posted on this forum about the ID of seeds that were floating in the surf. They were probably tropical almond, as it is one of the more common 'sea beans' that are found on beaches. Floral, it's not my plant and I don't know the size of the leaves. I would guess the same size as sea grape -- maybe 6 inches across or more.

Found a couple ===>>> in a former life.. i was a lawn warrior ... grubs could destroy large swaths of lawn ... WHEN THE POPULATION GOT OUT OF CONTROL ... you would go rake out and a square foot of the dead lawn .. and you would count how many you found.. though by this time.. you knew there were lots of them ... anyway.. you would find a dozen or two per square foot ... that is why the lawn died.. i mean really.. grass is the most invasive weed on the face of the earth ... growing anywhere .. lol ... at that point.. there were .. and i presume still are ... lawn chems that you could apply to your lawn to fix that problem ... if you find a couple.. in an entire garden bed.. it really is... ugly and ikky as they are ... NOT A PROBLEM that need be fixed .... IPM .. integrated pest management requires that there be a problem .. that needs to be fixed.. before you go all nuclear war on getting rid of every bug in your yard ... i suggest you try to accept mother natures wonder.. and just enjoy the process ... which includes ikky bugs ... and move on ... i also used to carry them to the cement ... and just leave them there for the birds .... even if they didnt find them the sun would kill them .. its not like they have legs to go anywhere else ... lol ... but i dont ever recall them being there a few minutes later ... ken
