Arachnophobia!!!

Check out this lovely eight legged wonder that we found above the bushes in front of our house. You really can't get a good idea of just how large it is from the pictures. I'm estimating that she's almost 2 inches in diameter including her legs. Obviously she's quite content in her new home because she's been there for days now. Well, you know me...I just had to find out what she was. Turns out she is a Black and Yellow Argiope. I'm just glad that she's outside and not inside!
