Preview thumbnail for It's everybody's favorite spider - the Yellow Garden Spider! Yes, Ms. Zigzag herself, once again in the early AM covered in dew, not that that is necessary to get this close to one of these beauties. The first spider I was introduced to in a non threatening way. image

Preview thumbnail for Northern Illinois, this beauty was on my garbage can and was the most shiny spider I've ever seen! Legs were green and rear was yellow/gold. The whole thing looked like it had been dusted with gold. It was spinning so pic is a bit blurry, sorry. ID is appreciated image
