Nice pic! Those Black and Yellow Argiope's are scary-looking, but harmless to humans. When I was a kid, there was a weedy field near my house, just full of them. Only saw it one year. They were making a feast of all the locusts we had that year.

Beautiful spider! My daughter almost walked into one Saturday ... she wasn't the same the rest of the day. For some reason, she's scared of them.

I don't like spiders and snakes!

Got popped by a copperhead when I was 12, but very lucky on that one, the fangs snagged in my brand new unwashed jeans.

My brother was bitten by a brown recluse 3 weeks ago, and it came close to killing him. He didn't know what it was that bit him in bed, but the hospital said it must have been a brown recluse due to the symptoms and rotting bite area flesh.

I hope your brother has made a full recovery. Glad your jeans saved you.
