Black and Yellow garden spider

Description:

These spiders are orb-weavers, meaning that they spin their webs in a circle or an orb. These webs can be up to 2 feet across, while the spiders themselves can have a leg span of nearly 2.5 inches! Females are much larger than the males, and often times, these spiders will decorate their web with a zig-zag of white silk.

Habitat:

True to its name, the black and yellow garden spider is often seen in and around gardens. Black and yellow garden spiders prefer to build their webs in sunny areas and often will rebuild their webs every day.
