What an amazing picture! And what an amazing spider, too. Thanks for posting that, David.

Nature tells us what to be wary of... keep this rhyme in mind: Yellow and Black look out Jack. Orange and Yellow is a friendly fellow.

annoying academic footnote

According to Bugguide, it looks like you have a Black and Yellow Argiope (Argiope aurantia) there. And a nice fat fellow it is! fantastic foto.

Bugguide bills itself as "Identification, Images, & Information For Insects, Spiders & Their Kin For the United States & Canada"

I like the iconic "clickable guide" menu in the left navbar column.

field guides

Thanks for the annoyance! I'm looking forward to the day when we can replace bulky field guides with an ipod-type device with guides of this sort; its a good prototype.
