Description
The cool spider living between a bush and a tomato plant in my front yard. It had two dead bees in the web, including the one it was in the process of wrapping up here.We get these things from time to time but I don't know what it is.

We have those Argiopes her as well as the St. Andrew's Cross spiders [Banana Spiders.] here. We also have 'Aussie Sized' huntsmans.. not cool ...>.> The smaller ones look like recluses, which I've been bit by. x.x I know how to treat bites and stuff and all, both folks being nurses and whatnot and working with animals all my life pays off I guess XD Good shot though.

Argiope aurantia the yellow orb web spider.
we have thousands of species of orbwebs in australia, you would probably hate ours, the golden orb web here in australia, its web is so strong aborigines used to grab two sticks and catch it then use it to catch fish in the river..
I got stuck in one once, it was so hard to get out of it i freaked.

We have tons of those things in our garden.
Don't know the real name, but we call them Zipper Spiders because of the webs.

Wow.. this guy does look badass. You should really find out if it's dangerous or not just to be on the safe side.
Nice closeup, love the level of detail.

My family/folks around here call them Bananna Spiders (probably due to being around bananna places..) but I loove the shot!
I'm personally too scared to get close enough to properly take a picture of them XD
Those suckers bounce on their web to scare you. works on me XD
aaand my camera refuses to zoom well enough so XD
I love it.
And I just noticed you can see the hair on its legs. AWESOME.
