This Garden Spider was one of about 30 we saw when out last week. Always loved this Orb Weaver.

thanks psionix. I always was fascinated with these as a kid. There are 2 spots that I find them at each year in my neighborhood. I took this girl home and fed her well on roachs. She rewarded me with an egg sack!
