Bugguide.net Hillary was in my backyard, now I know she is a Black & Yellow Argiope!

Hillary honestly scared the hell out of me last Summer. She was huge, hungry and Scary. I bet Obama feels the same way! Well, I found this great site; www.bugguide.net and I set up a free account and a great expert helped me figure out that this was not a mutant socialist setting in wait for me to come graze through my garden.

“She is a golden garden spider, Argiope
aurantia. She has regenerated one of her front legs. It will never be
quite as long and sturdy as the others, but it is a really remarkable
ability nonetheless.
