Sarah and the Farmer found this handsome feller hanging out in our flower garden. I am told it is a Garden Spider. We would love to know more about him if anyone out there can give up some info!

We have a spider like that at the farm. He made his web on a piece of equipment in the yard and he is HUGE in my opinion.
We had one of these as well "guarding" our basement door. I have found it is called an argiope (pronounced ar-GUY-oh-pee); also called a garden spider, black and yellow garden spider, or a garden orbweaver. The websites claimed they are "harmless to humans", but I am not taking any chances - they give me the heebie-jeebies! Btw - I found your blog thru Yarn Over and Flip-Floppin Mama (went to college with Yarn Over,and Handyman):)
