Black and Yellow Garden Spider
*****
Black and Yellow Garden Spider; Argiope aurantia (aka Writing Spider, Banana Spider, Corn Spider)
Taken: 8/21/2010
In plain sight in the Wisteria. To gain perspective on her size, I included the bottom shot. According to
Wikipedia, the male will construct a smaller web in the proximity of the female web and wait to go
courting. After mating, the female typically kills the male.
These spiders are not believed to be toxic to humans or aggressive.

Flowering Spurge - Macro Flowers Saturday
*****
Flowering Spurge; Euphorbia corollata
Taken: 8/16/2010
A little something that popped on the back hill. I think next season, I am going to sow wildflower
seeds all over the hill. This year I wouldn't let my husband cut down the few we had and our neighbor
offered to let us use his weed eater and weedkiller. TOM told him 'no thanks'.

I thought these flowers were very interesting. I had never seen them before. These are a bit blurry
because I took the photos with my cell phone when I went to my dentist' office.
Mrs. Dentist had no idea what they were either.
If you know what these are, feel free to leave a comment.
