Arachnophobia Anyone?!?! A Few Captures of a HUGE Spider.

Arachnophobia or arachnephobia is a specific phobia, the fear of spiders and other arachnids such as scorpions. - Wikipedia

Are you deathly scared of spiders? Ever think about doing this when you see that big nasty spider crawling around you house? I'm not all that crazy about them either, but they don't bother me as much as this!

I was walking through a recently seeded natural prairie not far from my home. Its full of beautiful wildflowers and quite a few animals. Its also home to lots of small inhabitants too like everyone's favorite spider!

The spider that I caputured are Argiope aurantia (Black and Yellow Garden Spider). Mature females are enormous, their bold black-and-yellow pattern adding to their intimidating appearance. Common in gardens, orchards, forest edges, old fields, and farms, they spin a classic round orb web which is usually decorated with a bold, zigzag band of silk called a stabilimentum. - Spiders of Wisconsin
