These and shamrock spiders are my favorite!

[@saviaamand4137]

I’m in Minnesota and they don’t show them there on this video and I google pics this

[@scottjnault4567]

Yes I have pictures 😊 pictures of them behind our tent 🎪 when we were camping

[@lgeorges1]

Found one in Canada, and post it online

[@stevethorpe5672]

we have a lot of them round our house in central Texas, some are huge with webs I've measured at near 4 feet across. There is one outside right now that caught a hummingbird this morning that is now neatly wrapped in the web! I have photos!

I see these spiders all the time during summer.

i have one who made a web to the side of my storage buildings door. i went in, accidentally tearing her web . the next day, i went out, saw that she had rebuilt it and tore her web again. the third time, she had adapted her web to be out of the way of the path of the door. an amazing creature. smarter that most humans.

Came to Texas for first time. Im a native to the great lakes region (Niagara Falls, NY) where large spiders are pretty rare to see, at least in the urban areas. I encountered this sizeable mammoth of a spider living behind a screen door on a porch. For weeks it never seemed to ever move. Out of curiosity, i tossed a piece of tiny stick onto its web. As soon as the stick landed the spider was instantly on top of it. It was so fast it looked as if he had teleported there. It then realized that the stick wasn’t food, and amazingly it began biting the web around the stick, and dropping it out of the web. Then it casually crawled back to its favorite spot. Now i have a new found interest in spiders

the more I learn about our incredible world, the greater my fascination grows. Superb channel, so well done! Looking forward to hearing more about this spiders relatives and their web styles.

[@jadenl629]

imagine writing spiders actually write to each other with their webs hehe, awesome vid and keep up the amazing work!!🥰👍

[@dayglowjim]

They're so pretty! I love seeing them out in the garden.

[@Matok1]

Have one of these that took up residence on my house this year. It first made a web that fit perfectly across one of my bedroom windows, then after a couple months it placed an egg sack and vanished, or so I thought. Turns out it actually moved about 10 feet over and made a new web on my side garage door near the ground, I just didn't notice it there at first. I still go out and check up on it every day or so to see how it is doing.

[@erstwhilegrubstake]

We had a spate of these one year and then they disappeared. Could be because we had a huge explosion of insects for them to feed on. I have pictures of very well fed cross spiders that look like miniature lobsters from that year.

[@MelonyInprogress]

i remember as a kid our garden had about a dozen of these fast little buggers. massive in their own right we had them all the time in our garden beds. little fellas kept the earwigs out that i feared as a kid haha

[@ericbrindle5520]

Saw one of these today on my fence in the back yard by my garden. Incredible!

[@misslilly1989]

Love learning about my living room window friend. I called her Tiffany she she’s a mama now ❤

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Love this!

[@legendarybanditmb]

Awesome! I've seen these in my backyard and wondered about their interesting webs.

[@jameswillis3042]

I always love seeing spiders. I had like three in my apartment when I was in college and I remember my sister freaking out about it. I was just like "if they're not catching anything, they will leave on their own. Otherwise they're helping."

[@WebOfTwilight]

I saw one of these beauties today while I was picking blackberries. I hadn’t seen one for many years. We had one set up residence above our front porch. I used to go out there just to watch her. Such neat little spiders.

[@edrozenrozen9600]

These guys are my friends! 😁

[@tinamaclary9609]

Discovered one in my front yard today. A beautiful spider with a lovely yellow zig-zag. Can't wait to show it to the neighborhood kids.

[@jadenl629]

thats awesome🤩

[@shrimpwithaknife3381]

One on our back porch just constructed her sack

[@samhall7385]

It's so hot today that my big girl is laying in he grass like I do when I finish cutting grass

[@QuannGotti]

I got one of these on my porch

[@iTsEfFiNsTePhh]

0:40 I live in South Carolina and I see these beauties all the time here (there's even some that build their webs and put their babies egg sacks in the same spots every year- I could walk around my house and yard right now and easily count 30 or more alone not counting all the other ones around here) right in between the mid and low countries so i'm not sure why South Carolina is almost completely blank on this map 😂 Great video tho I really love these spiders get attached to some of them that live around my house and will even feed them a bug especially when it gets colder when they have a harder time catching anything and it breaks my heart when they pass away every year but happy to know that they left behind their babies and i'll try to protect them ❤️

[@johncampbell9812]

Me too. I’m in blythewood and they r everywhere

[@Junketh71]

I used to see those spiders in our park in the wild, but not lately, sadly.

[@pariahthistledown540]

I have been hanging out with Charlotte on my front stoop for over a month. Today, she somehow caught a large Praying Mantis...which took quite a time to immobilize...and the male even gave a hand. She has had one egg sack presumably destroyed, but there is another now. I love garden spiders of all kinds, but i will be needing to disturb the area soon, as i need to expand the front porch!

[@Infinite_Phoenix]

Argiope aurantia is a species of spider, commonly known as the yellow garden spider or writing spider. Patterns of yellow and black adorn the creature's body with a white head.

[@eunaekim9216]

When I lived with my parents, there were many times when I was on their back porch and there were five or six egg sacs from spiders there. I'm wondering if these were what would hatch out of those eggs!

[@saundriawilson8397]

I saw my first writing spider today. I had to research it! Thanks for th video.😊

[@jordanalexander615]

I saw hundreds of these in and on my neighbors old farm equipment. They get huge and some webs were four feet across. Was kinda scary.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

That sounds like a fascinating experience!

[@jordanalexander615]

@@AnimalFactFiles definitely would have been had I not been terrified of them. I've had one on my face after I walked into it's web while weed eating the trees. Fastest I've ran/ smacked myself in the face.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

@@jordanalexander615 Oh no!! 😰 I've definitely done that too and it's a moment of sheer terror

Parachuting does not catch the wind as its sole means of propulsion. It utilizes electrical currents and static in the atmosphere to travel

[@nct948]

how pretty they are. I wonder if they are the same as the French 'épeire'. I saw one when I was a child, but don't remember any zigzag pattern on the large web which was very regularly woven with the spider sitting right in the middle. Its golden colour and outstretched front legs were a beautiful if intimidating sight.

[@aprildeshazier9399]

So i just joined your page. I just watched your other video about the house spider. Do they play dead?

[@givememorepizza4358]

This is probably the most I've seen in my yard they look pretty kool but I still don't wanna get bit bye one I'm glad I came on here to get more information on them thank you.

[@nancyjean2389]

I got bit by this spider last night .. hurt like hell and I got a bad headache.. a small red bump and swelling and so itchy ..

[@davidhoman3807]

Today is September 8, 2022. Southside of Atlanta Georgia. We have lived in the same house for 3k5 years, and this is the first time I’ve seen one of these at our house. It is attached to our mailbox. The first time I saw one was 6 miles away from here, and about 15 years ago.

[@davidhoman3807]

35 years

[@os3734]

They are all over metro Atlanta now. A bunch in my yard every summer over the last few years.

[@Crafterrian]

These sometimes live in my backyard, and last year one had 2 egg sacks.

[@indyreno2933]

Can you do fact files on the banteng (Bibos javanicus)?

[@dafinacarter5850]

I’m here because we just relocated one of these away from my house, I was very afraid but I overcame the fear for my kids, now I wish I would have let her stay, but I just don’t think I could handle seeing a dozen more next year. It was intense 😅😅😅

[@Sam_Blakley]

Every year I have over a dozen around the house.I'ts late September and there are still several on their web

[@accidental_relevance]

I'm concerned about my garden spider. She has been in the upper right corner of her web today hanging upside down rather that perched in the center off the web as usual. She is also bigger and rounder than I have ever seen. She ate about half of a large water-bug two days ago. I'm wondering if the water bug made her sick. Of if she might be working on a web sac ?

[@claysoggyfries]

We always called these banana spiders as kids
