Thanks, Silvia! She is pretty big. For reference, she appears to be wrapping a bee in silk. #1640886

Awsome picture David! I hate spiders when they are in my appartment but outside I can not stop chasing them with my camera :) strange not?

Thanks Terry and Sylvia! I'll try to post a couple other insect shots I got the same day as this one... #1641803

Marsha S. Smith July 26, 2005

Super shot, David. This looks similar to a spider around here that we call a Banana spider or Garden spider - that may be the real name of this spider that Silvia gave you. #1641993

David G. Ziegert July 26, 2005

Thanks Marsha! I think you're right about it being called a banana spider. What I wouldn't have given to have my Canon with a 100mm Macro lens! #1642005
