A coworker who recently wrangled some Latrodectus for me is now asking if i'd like him to catch a "Garden Spider" for him. I'm fairly sure he's talking about an Argiope.
I've tried a couple of times to keep WC orb weavers in captivity with pretty poor results. I couldn't get her to eat and she ended up shriveling up and dying on me
So if anybody has some ideas on how best to keep her inside I may give it a go. These gals are just so beautiful, I'd be pretty bummed if I ended up killing her.
edit: Aaargh... I hate when I can't fix spelling mistakes in the subject line!
