What kind of spider is this?? 2 Attachment(s) This guy is perched right outside the house next to the back door. I'm not going to bother him if he's just some regular spider, cause I think he's kinda pretty (even though I HAAATE spiders). but if he's suspicious, he's gotta go. :p These were the best pictures I could get. He kinda blends into the green backround. Including his legs, he's a bit smaller than a quarter. He's neon green and he's got some black stripes and white dots. and his web his pretty big and in layers, if that means anything. I feel like he's crawling all over me after looking at these pictures for a few seconds haha. |
Ok well I know you know my vote but I really think you need to hear it again..... DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE |
Erm... I know you're bored but really! Kill it! |

Ah it's just a harmless Garden Spider. They are pretty aren't they? I would just let it be, it won't hurt you. |
LOL Twalla and Vicky! can I get the opinion of someone who doesn't want the entire spider population massacred? |
ok maybe it isn't. At first glance I thought it was black and yellow. Most likely still harmless. I am more scared of the ones that hide and nest, not the orb weavers. If it doesn't have a red hourglass on it and isn't a wolf spider or brown recluse, I wouldn't worry. Of course you probably aren't in michigan, so I don't know what kind of venomous spiders you have there, lol. |
Ack!!! I'm not really scared of spiders, but I have been bit a few times, and it was awful. My rule of thumb is, if they have a big butt, they gotta go. Also when they make those perfectly big beautiful webs, they mean business. You don't see harmless daddy long legs with webs like that! |
We have brown recluse spiders but aren't they brown? haha. I need a spider identification book. :p and no way in heck am I getting close enough to him to see a red hour glass! :p Are they a problem if they're bright colors? I know with frogs you're not supposed to touch them if they're neon/bright colors. haha. Does it mean the same thing for spiders? ETA: ^^thanks! yeah. He's got a pretty big butt. and so true about the webs! haha. Still don't want to kill him though. *sigh* Any more thoughts, folks? |

Here in NZ we call them an Orb spider as they have a orb shaped body, they change colours with their surrounding, a harmless creature but I hate spiders all the same, if he was in my house he'd be sprayed if outside I just leave them as they get rid of pest insects |
Big butts and big webs are nothing to worry about. Especially with the garden spider. Their webs can be HUGE and so are their butts ;) Argiope aurantia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
Only my opinion but I think... That thing is ugly alright!!! lol |
I like your rule. I also have a rule. if it's inside the house, it dies. If it's oustide the house, I wait until it bothers me enough to kill it. OR if I find out it's harmless before it's experation date, he gets to live. |
Thanks for sharing all the info you guys have!! I almost want to find out he's venemous so I can kill him without feeling guilty haha. Cause every time I take Tucker out we have to run like mad past him. :p |
