Description

Spider spiders bug insects ord weaver web black and yellow garden spider US united states Canada spiral colored creature is a female Black and Yellow Garden Spider (Argiope aurantia). This spider is found throughout the United States and Southern Canada; most often in open fields or garden vegetation. It creates a 2 foot (most often) web to catch its pre: consisting of flies, crickets, grasshoppers, and other winged insects. You can differentiate between the sexes by the body size. The female (1-1/8 in.) is generally larger in size then the male (3/4 in.).

Now a note to all of you with Arachnophobia (fear of spiders). You have nothing to fear from this little guy. The Black and Yellow garden spider helps you by controlling pest insect populations (Killing Mosquitos and flies). They are harmless to humans. There so many more things in life to fear other then these fascinating creatures (like Sock-Monkeys. They are pure evil).
