Leif got to take Labor Day off so we walked over to the Jackson-Frazier Wetlands together. This was Leif's first trip here and I was hoping we'd find something interesting. We were not disappointed! This spider was well camouflaged and once we found it we were amazed that we could miss something so large. Its body is about 3/4 inch tall. It's really creepy, yet beautiful at the same time. It's a black-and-yellow argiope and despite the creepiness factor is quite harmless to humans. (Be sure to check the link for a better picture of this colorful spider!)
