There are a number of types of Argiopes, and this is one of the most commonly found in the USA. Their range is quite large - all of the USA and southern Canada and even into other parts of the world. They, themselves are of a good size and can appear scary, but they are not venomous in the way a Black Widow is. All spiders have venom, of course, but most don't bite people. Common sense will tell you not to handle wild spiders since they can bite to protect themselves.
These Banded Argiopes are denizens of fields and meadow, preferring to build their webs in spaces between tangled vegetation. They are fully grown in late September or early October, mate, lay eggs, and then die. The spiderlings hatch during the winter but don't leave their egg sack until spring. Nature is so clever!

I always wanted to try photography, and my retirement offered an opportunity to do just that. The natural world is my first love. Here you will find pictures of things both large (landscapes, for instance) and small (macro) that catch my eye. I hope the images serve as a window into the natural world many of you don't have the chance to see. In a sense, I'm trying to create a guided nature trail, sharing what information I have about the subject. I'm always grateful for new and better information and welcome all input. Learning is food for the mind and soul. Nothing is ever harmed in the picture-taking process, but some things that wander into our home (like spiders) are carefully removed from the house after they serve as "models"....

I love these huge orb weaver "garden spiders" - they are soooo cool! Great capture, Carol, L/F

I agree! They are awesome:>). Thank you for loving them.

Beautiful macro image! L/F.
Carol Senske replied:
I'm so glad I had the chance to photograph these because the habitat is changing and they are not as numerous as once upon a time. There were two species that lived there and now I can only find these. Thanks for the visit and comment, Steve:>)

I love these spiders which gravitate to one of my garden beds. Great capture, Carol.
Carol Senske replied:
Aren't they the best! These, and the aurantia species are so beautifully colored and eat all sorts of evil insect pests:>) Thanks for the nice comment and for liking these guys!!!
