This is the time of year that you find yourself blundering through huge orb spider webs strung up in the darnedest places. Between trees. From my car to the carport. Wherever.
Actually, it's kind of creepy. When I remember, I try to stick one hand out in front when wandering "between" things when I can't see too well. Like when going to the compost pile after sundown.
Each year though, these guys take up residence in our vegetable garden. Argiope aurantia. They're kind of hard to miss, being bright yellow and three inches long. The webs are usually a couple of feet across.
