Nightmare material

[Al Perry]

Yep... Ran into one yesterday smack dab in the face. I acted like a mad man for about 30 seconds. Nice shot!

[Kay Hodges]

That is one scary spider! Nice capture!

[Thom Mitchell]

Great shot, Carolyn! What species?

[Carolyn White]

@hollandcrew I've come really close!!! I had one of the webworm caterpillars fall on my neck today. I freaked big time! I never saw it. I threw it, but it left some of it hairs on me. They irritate the skin. My photo day was over! I went inside to wash them off. At least it wasn't a spider! They are all over the place right now!

@rhoing It's a Yellow Garden Spider - Argiope aurantia. Thank you!

[Mickey Anderson]

Love these, When I was a land Surveyor, we came across many in the Fall!, nice capture

[Allison Maltese]

Ooh, what a big juicy body. Exquisitly focused and captured.

[Milanie]

Beautiful! You were definitely big and brave! Love the shot.

[Daryl O'Hare]

It looks like a Writing Spider. Nice!

[Pam Hawkes]

Cool capture! I would surely keep my distance!

[Thomas Santomartino]

I don't like spiders but I can appreciate the interesting colors of this one.

[Cindy]

Oh he looks like the spider I just captured today! Bright yellow! Love it!

@cjwhite Thanks! I discovered that even if you don't ID the critter below the image, it's sometimes to be found in the tags. :) Sneaky, but effective!
