  • These are great spiders to watch, i myself hate spiders not from ignorance but sheer unreasonable fear and respect for the damn things. These spiders construct a very intricate and amazing web. if you like wildlife and have a spot with some flowers watch for these little guys and in the evenings you can really watch them work away. Toss in a grasshopper and see what happens. Not cruel, just helpin the spider out. (saves your plants too!) like my frickin pepper plants. Bastard grasshoppers.

  • I'd rather have a harmless garden spider than a beatle eating my pants

  • My grandma had one of these build a web across her front door. She started using the back because she was too afraid but didn't want to hurt it. xD

  • @ncrider2000 No, this is a female of Argiope Aurantia, very common in north America, not dangerous for us.

  • @Michellemybelle70 This is a female of Argiope Aurantia, not poisonous for humans. This class of spiders are not aggressive, but rarely can bite, if repeatedly harassed. You can handle they without great difficultys.

  • you do realize that thats a male black widow spider right?

  • oh and yes, they get pretty big, about the size of an adults hand

  • these used to be all over the place in texas, until people started building houses, after that, i have yet to see another in person, and thats been a good... 9 or 8 years... freakin construction guys, i really liked watching the spiders to!

  • @Jethro100 Thats cool you like them I dont care that you do. But small things that I can easily get hurt by is just scary to me. I don't have the same respect for them as I do other things. I don't care when they came. They have pretty colors, but they are just not welcome near me. I'm sure it doesn't want me around it either so feeling is mutual.

  • Had one of those in our garage back at our old house! Scared the shit out of us!

  • @VioletMoonFire They were here before you, you should respect all animals or insects, Im scared to death of spiders, but I still like them no matter what. BTW! I was bitten as a child and have a scar but I still like them.
