What the Hell is This?

I found this lovely friend on my downstairs bathroom door while getting ready for the party. What the hell is this thing? It is the biggest spider I have ever encountered in my house. Dena says that it is a garden spider.

Posted by Betty on 2007-08-24 15:40:02 Well you asked, it's a Black and Yellow Argiope or you can call it a Argiope aurantia, commonly called a Garden Spider, as mentioned above. If you really want to know more visit: http://www.fcps.k12.va.us/StratfordLandingES/Ecology/mpages/black_and_yellow_argiope.htm In my former life I was an Arachnologist. :)
Posted by Jason on 2005-08-27 01:25:40 That would be a writing spider. Yes, I totally know the name of a spider. If you leave it alone it'll "write" messages in its web. That's one of the good ones. but still... you'll see me running away at a mile a minute if it gets near me.
Posted by Anna Banana on 2005-08-25 14:19:03 HOLY FUCK. Um... couple of questions: 1- Did you immediately move or burn down your house after discovering this arachnoid? 2- What the fuck is wrong with its legs? The don't match! EWWWWWWWW!
Posted by nytro on 2005-08-23 21:29:52 Ewww!!!
Posted by Spoiled-grrl on 2005-08-23 16:21:22 I hate spiders more than anything! I got goosebumps just looking at that pic! How did you you dispose of it? Do you think it has eggs somewhere? Like, behind the sofa!! Argh!
Posted by some girl on 2005-08-23 12:21:05 I found two of them in my front yard in a wierd position. I think they were procreating. Sick!
Posted by Chrissy on 2005-08-23 10:33:26 Holy fucking shit I'd have a had a godammed heart-attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you zoom in on that thing?? Is it really that big???? How are you still alive!!!!!!!!!!?????????????? I shuddered just seeing a picture of it!
Posted by tj on 2005-08-22 19:47:31 HOLY SHIT!!!!
Posted by chatty on 2005-08-22 16:43:24 That little beastie is a monster.
Posted by Curator on 2005-08-22 12:58:34 :P Dena is right! It is a garden spider!! They get very very BIG! Have a nice day!
Posted by Jenn on 2005-08-22 12:42:42 That is not the same spider DENA!!!
Posted by Misty on 2005-08-22 12:23:59 Here it is, just as I told you. You forgot to mention how bravely I scooped this little arachnid friend onto my shoe and "shoe-ed" (complete pun intended) him out the door.
Posted by dena on 2005-08-22 12:19:17 Okay first of all...that is nothing. You need to come visit me. You need a size 13 mans shoe to kill bugs out here. Second...that is not a picture of a cooler full of momma. Third....how hungover were you yesterday? Hope the toy party went well. I've been thinking about you:)

you can make these crescent roll dough, cream cheese bars with pie filling or just simply the cream cheese mixture with some choc chips!

Get rid of ants almost overnight with this solution!! Pinning just in case.
