Reason #1 why I will NOT be helping to tend the flower beds the rest of the season. I’m fairly certain this thing could take me down in one swipe. *ackkk*
I looked it up and this is a Killer Garden Spider.

Yikes! The upside is those things eat mosquitoes, I think? If not, then I’ve changed my opinion about scary looking spiders.

Yes its a garden spider – they build a cocoon for their eggs and babies hatch in the spring. The cocoon is usually within 4 feet of their web. After they build the cocoon they usually die within a couple of weeks. After October, you won’t see them. I can’t believe you got so close or did you use a zoon lens. LOL

@Jeannette Chipka,
Oh I got pretty close alright! I was sweating and my stomach felt sick. As I inched in, a plant in the garden grazed the toe in my sandal and I almost went into cardiac arrest! lol
