OUR NEW NEIGHBOR

THIS THING HAUNTS MY DREAMS!
Yep! This spider-The Black and Yellow Garden Spider also known as Argiope aurantia- lives in our backyard! We did some research and found out they are safe-not poisonous. But they have been known to kill and eat small bats in Africa! Nasty huh! Sorry we didnt want to put our hands up anywhere near it to give a better size reference. But we'd say this female is about 3 and a half inches..
