It's starting to look creepier to me the more I look at it! We moved it to another spot. I wasn't going to be walking around with that thing that close to me!!

They've been my favorite type of spider since I've been little because of their beautiful coloration.

I know them as Garden Spiders - the name banana spider is used for a number of different species of spiders.

We have a TON of these around our house now - I mean, I can literally see 6 that all have their webs at various spots around our house, so I know there's more I haven't spotted.
They are very big, and their webs are quite beautiful - I've always loved garden spiders, and with the insects they help keep down, I never disturb them if I can possibly avoid it.
Now, black widows...ugh, found 1 out in our garage 3mos.ago and killed her and sprayed....those I really cannot stand.
