not an itsy, bitsy spider

Meet the Argiope aurantia commonly known as the Black and Yellow Garden Spider. These large spiders - the female can grow to three inches in diameter - are fairly common along the edge of wetlands and open fields in Delaware. Their large webs can be more than two feet across.
