Characteristics
These spiders have distinctive yellow and black markings on the abdomen and a mostly white cephalothorax.The body length of males range from 0.20 – 0.35 in; females range from 0.75 – 1.10 in. These spiders may bite if disturbed or harassed, but the venom is harmless to non-allergic humans, roughly equivalent to a bumblebee sting in intensity.
Harborage
Yellow garden spiders often build webs in areas adjacent to open sunny fields where they stay concealed and protected from the wind. The spider can also be found along the eaves of houses and outbuildings or in any tall vegetation where they can securely stretch a web.
