More Spider Than Web

They call this the black and yellow argiope aurantia or the black and yellow garden spider. I must be in spider mode.

Females of the species are the most commonly seen in gardens. Their webs are usually characterized by a 'Z' shaped line in the middle extending vertically. They spend most of their time in their webs waiting for prey to become ensnared. When prey becomes caught in the web it will usually undulate the web back and forth to further trap the insect. When the prey is secure it will kill it by injecting its venom and then wrap the prey in a cocoon of silk for later consumption.

I'll try to change it up tomorrow!!

Looking forward to Friday. A friend is coming out to visit and we may even take a ride into the big city of Orlando.
