Yellow and Black Garden Spider

Save the spider !
Good pic :o)

Great photo

I hope you can keep your mother in law away from the spider.

great picture do you know what type of spider it is ?

I've got one lives on the wing mirror of my car, comes for a ride with me every time....fortunately it's on the passenger side or it might have to go!!

Wish they were all pretty like this one...good pic Healerwitch.

Countrybumpkin...believe it or not it's name is yellow and black garden spider...lol

Thanks everybody, and so far success...she is 74 and I think she may have forgotten it...ummmm....i DID show her the shed skin from an 8 foot black racer snake we found in the yard also.

She is far more afraid of snakes than spiders, even though Mistress spider is over 2 1/2" long and 1" in diameter!!

Growing up we would have at least one and sometimes 2 build webs in the bushes right outside our picture window. My mother who has an extreme fear of spiders would insist that they be left alone by us kids. "they're outside not inside so that's ok and they are beautiful spiders" The males look quite different and are extremely smaller.

Kmccue07....I guess I have only ever seen females then! thanks for the insight...I do so love watching this one....and so far she is SAFE!!! :)

you may have seen males and just didn't know what you were looking at...they look that different. They would share the web with the female until mating was done and then she ate him for lunch...lol strange how some life cycles go.
