i found a really cool spider at work last friday, and got a few good pictures of it. not sure of the exact species, but it's some variety of argiope. it's now living (unless it's been eaten) in the hops vines in our back yard.

    Oooh, that IS cool!! What a great find! We never see anything cool like that here, but when I do see bugs, I usually kill them... :)

    It's called a Banded Garden Spider.
