I don't like them, but I respect them :)<br /><br />This is the first time for yellow garden spiders in my yard, in fact I've never seen them before in my life. <br /><br />They look dangerous, but apparently--I was relieved to find out--they're not considered venomous.<br /> <br />They CAN bite though, especially the females (that spin the zigzag web), if provoked or disturbed.<br /><br />It might be a good year for yellow garden spiders, so keep your eye out for them, Jules. Don't get bitten!Sasha A.

I've seen some of those spiders in my yard too. <br />Be careful as I think they can be poisonous. <br />I generally like spiders...as long as they earn their keep :) <br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argiope_aurantia <br />I read their bite is like a bee sting.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571987715911379165noreply@blogger.com
