same spider
we had two of these in our back yard this summer.
One apparently met some sort of disaster as come morning his orb was half way destroyed and he or she was no where to be found.
The other one continues to come out, not every night but often. I have pictures and will see if I can get them to you.
What are these guys? are they dangerous, venomous, agressive, ??
send me a direct e mail and I will upload a pic or two.
Thanks
