Baymule’s Farm Pictures

I hate walking into spider webs. This one was not in a path way. Pretty spider.

I've never seen a zigzag spider web, wonder if they live up here?
We have Cat spiders. They are big girls and their web is as tough as fishing line. Fortunately they mostly spin next to a wall, because I walked into one that was across a portion of the garage door and got a little panicky imagining her running to wrap me up!

I don't like spiders at all, but I do know that they serve a purpose! I walked into a web with a huge spider in it, I had seen it the day before and then forgot about it...I did have a panic attack...

Ooo, this looks similar to a black and yellow spider I have in my Sedums! I’ll have to get a picture of it to compare.

Here it is. I think it might be the same!

it even has a little bit of the zig zag web, just not as well made. I’ve been watching this one for about a month. Now there are two.

Edit: Going back and forth between Baymule’s picture and mine, they are definitely the same kind of spider. Now I need to look up what they are.

I think that's a yellow (and black) garden spider-no joke. Because it's yellow and black and in the garden. Not a super creative name.

You are right!
But, according to Wikipedia, it has at least 7 other names it goes by too.

Why not? One from every region. Personally, growing up in the midwest and south we just always just called them "garden spiders".

We have them down here in VA too. They are pretty, and don't seem to weave a web out "in the way" like some do. Mostly only see them in the late summer or fall....

I think I'll call mine the Pig Palace Spider, cause that's where she is. LOL LOL

How cool is it that @Finnie and I have the same spider hanging around?
