Writing Spiders
Ranked #3,208 in Pets & Animals, #81,853 overall | Donates to Friends of the Park
Black and Yellow Garden Spider Is Also Called A Writing Spider
The woven pattern of "silk" is easily seen as the Writing Spider busily works to spin its web but the larger portion of the web may not be that easy to see and you could even walk right into it.
The Writing Spider is not aggressive and is not poisonous to humans but can be a little scary due to it's intimidating size. They can eat insects twice their size and are found all over South Carolina (and other places, too).
I enjoy writing about Nature and have a directory of all my Nature pages so hope you will check out others, too: Nature Pages by Ohme
What Are Writing Spiders?
A Prof.K signed my guest book and said that actually Writing Spiders were not usually harmful to humans but that they do have venom which is harmful to insects and spiders.

I think this would be a wonderful Field Guide to own especially if you are in an area with lots of insects. It is always good to be able to distinguish between the good ones and the bad.

- Lovely lens! When i first noticed them, I was afraid that they were poisonous, but soon I found ot they are harmless. I love their webs and that funky zig-zag :)
Last year they were everywhere, but this year I didn't see them.
