I found this guy in my tomato garden. - Argiope trifasciata
Kelowna, Lake Country, British Columbia, Canada
December 31, 1969
Size: half an inch?
It was raining today. I live in Lake Country just outside of Kelowna B.C. Canada. I have 8 acres which includes lots of trees and fruit. I found this guy in my tomato plants. Is he dangerous? Does he bite? I just know he scared the heck out of me. His underbelly is just as colorful as his back and butt

Incorrect date
The date reads December 31, 1969, which is the system's default. Can you correct it (assuming you didn't actually take the photo on that day)?
