Squirrelhunter91 Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 I don't know what kind of spider this is or if it is poisonous, but this spider seems to like the space inbetween the A/C unit and the house. Thought it was pretty cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyderpancake Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Re: Cool Spider Pic they are orb weavers, or writing spiders. they akways leave a thick white zig-zag line of silk down the middle of their webs. We had one at the barn, and i would feed it crickets and bugs every day, and she got huge! her abdomen was at least as wide as a dime.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Re: Cool Spider Pic This spider is so cool! I caught a moth out of the air yesterday, pulled a wing off and threw it in. That spider was all over it really quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Re: Cool Spider Pic IN, beat me to it. Argiope--black and yellow garden type. My kids and I will catch grasshoppers and feed them out in my field. Ours usually don't get that big until September or so. Yours is pretty big for July.

Shaun_300 Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Re: Cool Spider Pic I don't mind spiders at all! that one is really neat looking, haven't saw any like that up here in Canada, probably too cold for them. We have lots of "Daddy Long Legs" and Wolf Spiders, those are the most common ones here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
