Hey guys, can you identify this spider for me? it's huge and is protecting this garden from harmful bugs.
Brown Reclusesee>>299537for more info
Unlikely. It's as big as as the Cicaida it bit and killed with its venom in 3 seconds. It's nearly two inches from front to back and an inch and a half from side to side.

Yellow and black argiope spider. Sometimes colloquially called the zipper (for it's web formations) or garden spider. I have them all over the place.
I had a couple of those, until the big rain. Now they're gone. I hate spiders, mind you, but these guys are cool looking, never leave their webs, and stay out of the way. They might as well be wall decorations that catch bugs.
