You should have heard the scream from the kid who found it! :lol-sign: I was kind of suprised at how big it was - but it didn't seem to mind me getting up close and personal (about 3 or 4 inches away).

I so cant wait for a macro lens. I am going to PM Acooper some serious spider close ups

They're very common here. The webs are incredibly beautiful in the mornings, hung with dewdrops. All the "scribblings" between the lines of the web are the reason they're known as writing spiders in this region. Think Charlotte's Web.

Gotcha! I'd never heard of writing spiders or yellow garden spiders. I had to google to get the name (because my National Audubon Society Field Guide to Insects & Spiders SUCKS!!!)

 

[Buckshot]

I have had so many of those webs wrapped around my face walking through Louisianna in the Army. You gotta wonder where the spider is. Never been bitten by one though. I am glad to know the name. I would also like to get pics of cathead spiders

 

[Renee750il]

They're quite mild as spiders go. I've never known anyone to say they've been bitten by a writing spider

 

[Kase]

Oh wow awesome shots! I admit to being scared of spiders but your shots make them look beautiful!

 

[RetrieverLove]

Amazing shots!

 

[AndrewF]

Thanks Kase & RetrieverLove!

You go right ahead and do that Buckshot but I issue you a warning never and I repeat never send them to me or fruit bat. You may not like the reactions lmao

 

[Dekka]

Great shots!

Wow that reminds me of my younger days. One of those made a web in our kitchen window when I was 15. (on the outside of course) We left it there all summer. It was a neat spider, my brother would catch bugs and throw them into the web, then run in the house and stand on a stool to watch the spider wrap the hapless insect up. Nothing is as heartless as 5 year old kid feeding 'his ' spider They are not that common here. They are a very pretty spider.
