This is a Black and Yellow Garden Spider and pretty much the largest spider we get in my area. They are "good" spiders though eating lots of nuisance insects around here so most people let them be.
aww i like your X-factor .... i very much like the 'conversion' of the macro.....
hehe, just thinking of X words..... but it is... i think... too early in the mornging.... ahh....Xerxes.... this spider must be Xerxes ????
HAHAHA!! As big as they are they can command as much respect as Xerxes himself would if you don't know they are harmless! Thank you Barbara...I am actually not a fan of being that close to spiders.
as long as they don't bite me... i have no problems with them... i even can hold them in my hand and bring them away...... and... of course, here we don't have dangerous spiders.... they all are harmless, no poison.... my closeness to spiders could change rapidly in a country where there are dangerous ones... :-)
that's why i don't live over there :-)))))) i even would not only sleep in full body armor... also during the day.... and i would look like a horror monster with this armor things.... :-)))))
yes..... of course the two of us were joking, werent we..... the south west coast and the outbacks must be fantastic...... if you ever are there.... don't think of the horror monster Barbara, it would destroy your fantastic trip :-))))))))))))))))

We only have 2 venomous species here but they kinda keep to themselves. If I lived in Australia....I would sleep in full body armor.
