    Default Yellow and black garden spiders

    Yellow and black garden spiders

    Driving my recliner this morning and decided to look up the information on these spiders I took photos of yesterday.

    They both had their own webs but they were connected. I assumed it was an adult spider and its small offspring.

    Of course I was wrong but I learned something.

    Male garden spiders as seen below are much smaller than the females.


    Female garden spiders as seen below grow much larger than males.

    Didn't know that!

    Take a piece of grass or a twig or whatever and give her a gentle tap on the back. She'll rock the web back and forth. It's really entertaining!

    What they look like down here (I fed her a grasshopper):
