The other day, I went to gather the eggs and found this:
I tried to get close to take a good picture, and the dang spider started crawling all over – I backed up quickly!
This spider is called Black and Yellow Garden Spider, Writing Spider, Banana Spider or Corn Spider.
The web of the yellow garden spider is distinctive: a circular shape up to 2 feet in diameter, with a dense zigzag of silk. I’ve seen the zigzag before when I’ve seen this spider – but it wasn’t formed yet when I took the pictures.
