Web Photos |
 Send
in your webs! I have heaps of photos of spiders, but very few of
webs, so send them in!
I'll pick a
"WEB OF THE MONTH "
or maybe year going by the lack of photos at present, and feature it
in larger size. There are 2 types of spiders, the hunting spiders
like the wolf spiders and tarantulas and the web spinning spiders
like the Argiopes and Garden Orb Weavers. All spiders can spin silk
but only the web spinning spiders spin webs for their homes.
Many thanks for allowing me to use these photos. All photos are
copyright to their owners and may not be reproduced without
permission.

Hello, I came to your site to identify this spider, and now I
see that it's an Argiope/St. Andrew's Cross spider. It's a great
site for that -- thanks! What caught my eye about this spider was
its web (rather than the spider itself). And I must say, looking at
photos on your site, I think my spider wins the prize for "best
web." Check it out. (I live in South Jersey, near Philadelphia.) |

Reply: This is a
garden orb weaver, a common garden spider and quite harmless.

You web site is superb!! I discovered this spider
right outside of my front door in Southern CA. She has been there
for almost a week. I can not get a good picture since it only comes
out out night sorry. I think it looks like some sort of orb weaver.
What do you think? Is it harmful? thanks!
