Big Freakin' Spider
Went outside yesterday and got the surprise of my weekend...A giant freaking spider had built a web right outside our front door (right next to the walkway between 2 trees). Here's a photo - if you know what kind of spider it is, let me know. I'm hoping it's not poisonous. I think he's about 1-1.5 inches but in the photo, he looks larger...Kind of a big "ewwww".

Here's a link where you might find that guy: Ohio Spiders
I think I found it: the Neoscona arabesca (aka the Arabesque Orbweaver.
Eww...I'm glad you didn't stumble through that web with that disgust...er interesting arachnid hanging on.
It could also be like the spider on the front page. That one is also an orbweaver. They give more information on that one.

Thanks for the research. One thing I'm sure of - it's one ugly bug. But since spiders are "good bugs", I'll let it live. I am the god of bugs - I decide on life or death. I choose life! hahahaha. Sorry - slap happy from lack of sleep and the child acting up during services for the Jewish new year tonight...
If they are on their own turf, which I consider to be anywhere outside, I will try to leave them alone. As ugly as they are, I am fascinated with learning about them.
Sorry to hear about the lack of sleep. My manager is going through the Jewish new year festivities too this week.
