I can't draw, but decided to give it a go anyway.

For the first comic in my life, I think it went pretty well.

I'm petty sure, they place webs wherever people walk.

Cute comic!

Thanks, glad you liked it.

True that! Almost got a face full of this guy earlier this week:

That's a female Argiope aurantia. Found from Colombia to Canada. Fairly chill, they only bite big animals when hurt, and even then the bite is less concerning than a bee sting. If you're lucky you might even see a brown egg sac nearby.

Just don't grow attached to her to the point that you give her a name, those spiders are short-lived. RIP my pet Argiope argentata Kumoko (;_;)7

Thank you for your wonderful and informative comment! I went out back to see if she was still there / look for an egg sack, and snuck another pic. She's quick! Ran up the fence as soon as she saw me!

RIP Kumoko.

We had a Garden Spider for one summer on the corner of our porch.

She was so chill and we loved having her around. They often rebuild that beautiful web every night.

She laid a few sacs, but none of her children stuck in our yard, sadly.

Oh... I can't imagine waking into that.

Beautiful picture by the way
